Después de leer este libro sigo sin esta convencido, a mi esto de escribir un libro de 50000 palabras en 30 días sigue siendo una locura. A pasar de ello es una lectura bastante recomendable. La lectura del libro navega entre ameno y divertido, y algunos de los consejos que da el autor sobre como enfrentarse a la primera página, la página en blanco, cómo continuar una historia (usualmente envolvía a matar a uno de los protagonistas para hacer las cosas más interesantes), y como tener cierta constancia de trabajo pueden ser bastantes útiles. Bueno, yo creo que pueden ser útiles, después de todo, nunca he escrito una novela.
