Fluff

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2017

Words written to sell ebooks rather than to help his audience. Would not read another one of his guides. Pseudo-psychology and inactionable.

Am actually working through the exercises!! - very good
The book is motivational and full of common sense - that is facts we already know arranged in a meaningful manner
Short - you can read it in an afternoon and the exercises are forever
Not a spoiler review - just a recommendation to splash out buy and read instead of watching an episode of Sherlock Holmes or whatever your weakness is ;-)

Okay so a lot of it I already knew but even so having someone spell it made me really stop and think 'why haven't I been doing this'. It's been a week since I finished this book and I have written every day since then. Thank you Chris Fox.

Excellent, succinct and motivating book that acts like a cheerleader and enabler for your writing ambitions. Gives a clear structure for you to build a regular daily writing habit that fits into your life. If you don't get into a regular writing habit after reading this book, maybe you don't really want to be a writer. A must-read for all aspiring authors.

A book that EVERY budding writer should read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2016

I wish this book had existed for me to read twenty years ago. This book is necessary for all of those wanting to write and for those starting out.
For twenty years, I have been writing very on and off. I would start the New Year with a promise to commit to writing but always found that the trials of the day would soon make me far too tired to even think straight once I had put the kids to bed. Then I would feel angry, frustrated, and depressed for letting myself down.
Chris’s book has shown me that I am not alone in my frustrations. He shows that it is possible to make writing a permanent fixture in your daily life. Another automatic daily activity like brushing your teeth or having breakfast.
This book shows there is a way to find at least one hour a day to write. That one hour every day is one-step closer to completing your novel.
I have taken Chris’s advice of taking a more organized structure to my daily tasks so as not to feel too overwhelmed. He also advises to go to bed one hour earlier and to then get up one hour earlier when your brain is most focused.
My routine is now to wake up at 5.30am, shower, eat breakfast, and then to be at my computer at 6am to write for one hour. It is great to then spend the rest of the day feeling satisfied that I have achieved that one-step closer to my dream.
I am now looking forward to reading his book 5,000 words per hour in order to make the most of the one hour all to myself.

The kick that I needed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2020

Practical, inspiring and covers all the problems that stop you writing every day. My regular writing was falling apart and Chris' book was just what I needed to get me back on track. It's short, insightful and full of exercises, that I did and were useful. I can recommend this book if you are just starting, or stumbling, in your journey to become the prolific writer you've always wanted to be.

A must-read for aspiring authors.

Read this book in one night AND did all the exercises. I thought I knew everything about making a habit - but I was wrong. And it's an absolute MUST to do all of the exercises as they will help you cement your promises in your mind, and also realise what might be holding you back.
This book, has given me the kick up the backside I needed and made me feel much more motivated. There's only one thing left for me to do - go out and do it!

Get up early and get organised if you want to succeed!

I read this straight after reading 5,000 Words in an Hour, and that tells you something.
Every writer knows the pitfalls and obstacles to writing consistently over time. Most people give up before finishing their first book. Not many keep going book after book.
Chris keeps incredibly productive. He shows me all the things I'm doing wrong and - more importantly - what I can do to put them right.
Feeling much more confident I can achieve more after reading this. Like 5,000 Words in an Hour, I'll keep dipping into it
