Pulled Me Out of My Funk . . .
First, I want to thank the person who left the 1-star review. I purchased this on her recommendation alone. Just by the shrill snotty tone, I knew that anything she hated, I would love. Imagine getting a book described as a "booze-soaked, profanity-brined, Zen-lacquered look at the craft and art of writing" and being upset at the language? Heavens! As expected,I was right. This little book rocks. I've been in a writing funk for a while and The Chuck, in a no-nonsense and irreverent way reached into my head, grabbed my brain, and body-slammed it into my skull. Several times in fact. Once I got the ringing in my ears quieted down and regained my balance, I knew Chuck was right. I let some stuff out into the wild too soon and the resulting notes put me into an "analysis-by-paralysis" loop that was consuming me. I have the good stuff highlighted and for the first time in a while, feel ready to write. As soon as my latest batch of biotoxin is finished . . . I mean . . . properly disposed of at a licensed facility, I'm ready to roll. Chuck, I have a nerdgirl crush on you. Just wanted you to know that. And a big smoochie to the 1-star reviewer! Mwah!
