I want to write a silly review about how this totes showed me how to become a rich and famous author, but honestly this is really entertaining. It's basically a satirical guide to appearing to be an author, right down to attire, surroundings, and facial expressions. I particularly appreciated the screenwriter tips. Best of all, it's short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome. Recommended for people who like writing, successful and otherwise. ( )This is a parody of an advice book, aimed squarely at writers, promising the nearly impossible. It is, hands down, one of the funniest books I've ever read. If the phrasing of the title and the upside-down typewriter don't tip you off to the irreverence, then surely the promise of "fortune," "fame," and "awards" should do it. Flip open any page, and find something to laugh at - successful paragraph shapes, how to come out as a writer to your parents, how to take an author photo, developing your autograph. It's all here. My favorite quote: "Now that you have an idea, you are one step closer to wealth and fame, and it's time to plan who you want to write about." That is SO not how it works, and that what makes the book so funny. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I wanted to like this book, I really did. There are brief flashes of greatness throughout this short anti-advice book, but it just fell short for me. I kept putting it down because it really just wasn't interesting to me. There are way, way too many pages filled with stock photos, which to me distracts from the text. The book wants to be a funny writer's "guide" that purposely gives bad/stupid/wrong/irrelevant advice, but most of it falls flat and just ends up being dumb. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The book tries really hard to make light of the difficulties of writing and finding success as an author; however, many of the jokes fall flat. The stock image photography is at times witty, but often seems like a ploy to take up space on the page. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This parody self-help book for writers is filled with hilariously misguided tips, factual-looking charts, and other advice that knowingly pokes fun at writerly foibles while still cheering would-be authors on. With this book, struggling writers can find suggestions for effective paragraph shapes, tips on where to find inspiration (in your reflection, in the shapes of gum stuck to the ground, in a consultation with your doctor), thoughtful poses for author photos, pull-out procrastination excuses, and much more.How to Success! is filled with enough almost-helpful advice to keep aspiring writers amused, unblocked, and on their way to literary fame.
