“Rejection has value. It teaches us when our work or our skillset is not good enough and must be made better....Rejection refines us. Those who fall prey to its enervating soul-sucking tentacles are doomed. Those who persist past it are survivors. Best ask yourself the question: what kind of writer are you? The kind who survives? Or the kind who gets asphyxiated by the tentacles of woe?” #tentacle #QuotsyOct20 (quote may not be from tagged book)

If you're not following Chuck Wendig on Twitter you might want to reconsider that life choice. He said something sarcastic and Mark Ruffalo took him seriously and now it's a Twitter-fest of hilarity as various fans, including other writers, weigh in. It's political in nature but it's crazy funny.

Chaotic, imperfectly copy-edited, foul-mouthed amaze-sauce. Perfect for certain breeds of learning writers. I'll be back to dip into this one.

I don't know about this book. Ten years ago this book would have been good but now it reads like a collectiom of Buzzfeed lists. Still, I'll finish it and probably find kernels of advice I can cultivate. Plus, I do generally like Chuck Wendig.
