Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read several books on increasing writing speed (some also recommended by Chris Fox) but this may be the most practical of them all. Chris gives you a plan for increasing your hourly (and daily) word count. A real, practical plan. One that you can start on immediately. Not only does he give you a plan, he provides one tool to do it and recommends others that have helped him. Although he frequently mentions is iPhone app (which is related to this book) he also provides a spreadsheet. BTW Chris, you can take my money now if you develop an Android app or Chrome browser extension version. Don't mistake this book as simply an ad for the app though, he says the spreadsheet will do most of what the app does. This book is very short. There is NO fluff. It is full of "Do this" and "This is how doing this will help" kind of advice. Simple and direct to the point. It's worth the price if not much more. This book is the ideal companion to 2000 to 10000 by Rachel Aaron and Take Off Your Pants by Libbie Hawker. I'd really recommend reading 5000 Words Per Hour before them as it provides basic techniques that those two books are missing or gloss over. I think together, these three books cover the topic of increasing your writing productivity from concept to minute by minute writing. I really like the section on gamification. I think this may be the core of Chris' technique to faster writing. The idea of making writing as addicting as playing a video game is probably going to change my writing career.
