How to Use this Book

This book is interactive. With a caveat. You do all the work and the book does nothing.
Which means at the end of some of the chapters you’ll need pen and paper.

SUMMARY TIME

Whenever it says summary time you summarize the chapter in your own words in only five sentences! Not four. Not six. Don’t even think about seven or three.

Five sentences.

Restricting yourself to only five will make you really think about what you read and which parts are the juiciest bits.

THE ONE THING

When it says THE ONE THING write down the one thing which was most useful to you from the chapter.

Write it down as a specific action you will take in your writing based on what you just read. This will help you actually integrate the gained knowledge into your writing practice.

EXERCISE TIME

What the title says. Exercises. Sometimes there will be exercises, sometimes there won’t. And sometimes you will do them and sometimes you’ll resemble me doing exercises.

Any way you look at it, you’ll be great!
