Never Say You Can't Survive

I appreciated the writing advice, but more than that, the personal insights from Charlie Jane. This is a book about writing, but it’s also kind of a memoir about being a writer; she expertly uses her own experiences, and most importantly, mistakes, to make points that always land on the affirming and inspirational side of the rhetorical garden. It’s a warm book, written by someone who very obviously cares, and very obviously wants to help. That counts for a lot.

Charlie Jane Anders provides a throughout and heartfelt expression of not only what it means to be a writer in the modern day, but how to push through the rougher patches. This guide-book for the troublesome days of writing is full of inspirations, references, suggestions, and more. My only complaint is that I wish the book has a glossary of recommended media!
