Buckle up chucklefucks I'm gonna motherfucking learn how to write a book
Might actually tweet bits of this lol
Mind the language; it gets a bit naughty - Chucky boy is killing it already
legitimately horrific
i love the central irony of this book, which is that it's a book about writing that is completely unreadable
Chuck's never seen a sentence that has too many similes in it
honestly his verbal tick that is closest to making me want to delete the ebook and magnetize my harddrive is adding the -monkey suffix to everything. writers are penmonkeys whose wordmonkeying is a sacred duty
I don't even have words for this
Every chapter is just a listicle. like the 1001 ways is meant literally. it's just chapter after chapter of numbered lists. And every fourth one is just 'WRITE YOUR SHIT, DAILY, I MEAN IT, WRITERS FINISH THINGS' which is true i guess but not sure it's worth being 25% of the book
spoken like a man who is currently suing the internet archive for making copies of your shitty books available online
i hate every choice i've made in my life that have brought me to this place
truly i hate this man
This paragraph is raw, uncut wendig. It's chuck in his purest form.
Chuck, 80% of this book is adjectives
Chuck wants to mindfuck you into the middle of next week
Book has taken a turn for the phallic
what's a metaphor? a metaphor is like a simile
I feel like i need to take a shower after reading this
Just passed the 500th piece of advice.
Just posting this for the hilarious distance between his own writing style and what he's advising
The cameras were turned the other way when the semicolon died in prison
so much of it is written in this corny 90s comedian fake rapper voice, just a truly baffling decision for a book published in 2013
Please Chuck keep it in your pants for a chapter
I'm genuinely struggling to keep reading at this point. I'm 228 pages in and I don't know how much more i can take
Chuck has definitely given a female writer a 1 star review on goodreads for not using quotation marks
Rather self-serving advice here chuck
Thankfully getting to the end because I genuinely want to fucking kill myself
My brain is smooth like granite now
I finished it. 436 pages of pure dreck. Cannot overstate how much of it is just poorly written garbage. And boorrinngggg. It's just an incredibly boring book both in terms of the prose but also the ideas. Maybe three or four thoughts in it that aren't cliche or just basic
This is getting a lot more attention than I expected, so if you would all like to donate to https://seebruecke.org/en/donate/ they are doing great work towards having safe routes for migrants to Europe. If you reply here with proof I will record myself reading a passage of Chuck’s book 4u
