In my opinion, this book is the best first step to increasing novel writing productivity

ByJames TEnthusiast: Writingon June 21, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've read several books on increasing writing speed (some also recommended by Chris Fox) but this may be the most practical of them all.
Chris gives you a plan for increasing your hourly (and daily) word count. A real, practical plan. One that you can start on immediately.
Not only does he give you a plan, he provides one tool to do it and recommends others that have helped him. Although he frequently mentions is iPhone app (which is related to this book) he also provides a spreadsheet. BTW Chris, you can take my money now if you develop an Android app or Chrome browser extension version. Don't mistake this book as simply an ad for the app though, he says the spreadsheet will do most of what the app does.
This book is very short. There is NO fluff. It is full of "Do this" and "This is how doing this will help" kind of advice. Simple and direct to the point. It's worth the price if not much more.
This book is the ideal companion to 2000 to 10000 by Rachel Aaron and Take Off Your Pants by Libbie Hawker. I'd really recommend reading 5000 Words Per Hour before them as it provides basic techniques that those two books are missing or gloss over. I think together, these three books cover the topic of increasing your writing productivity from concept to minute by minute writing.
I really like the section on gamification. I think this may be the core of Chris' technique to faster writing. The idea of making writing as addicting as playing a video game is probably going to change my writing career.

ByYes, More Books Please!on July 9, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This elegant book changed my writing IMMEDIATELY. I’m so glad I read it!

I've been writing for several years and have always struggled a great deal with slow writing, due to allowing the inner editor to hamstring my forward momentum. 1,000 words a day was always my aspiration, but I didn’t often get there. It's a big, ongoing frustration.

The very first time I sat down to use the suggestions in this book, I more than tripled my previous word count per hour. Using short, timed writing sprints, I produced over 2,000 words in less than three hours of writing. I did the same thing on day two, and by day three I wrote more than 3500 words. This is a brand new novel manuscript I’m working on, and I fully expect the writing to be first draft caliber, but I can say with great confidence that it is no rougher than the rough draft material I’ve slowly sweated over in the past. In five days I've written over 11,500 words, and I am absolutely confident that I can sustain this level of writing. If this sounds like hyperbole, all I can say is that it’s a push toward a level of productivity that I have wanted for a LONG TIME, so I’m feeling quite enthusiastic.

I've read probably a dozen books on motivation/speed/overcoming resistance, and while there are always takeaway ideas, none of those books actually got me writing faster or more efficiently. Suddenly I'm looking at 3,000 words a day of fresh composition as not only do-able, but as a reasonable springboard for eventually writing at least 5k a day.

There’s a free iPhone app that can be downloaded in tandem with the 5k method in the book. I don’t have an iPhone, but Fox provides a spreadsheet alternative. I used a simple timer with the spreadsheet, and it worked great. My understanding is that the author (who is also an app developer for Apple) is looking to work with an android app developer to get an app made for non-iPhone users.

The reason I describe this book as elegant is that it’s streamlined information. You won’t have to wade through a long-winded introductory chapter that tells you what to expect in the rest of the book. Fox just dives in and gets you moving. At the end of the book, he shares some very inspirational information about his own development as a successful author, businessperson, and man—I found it moving and am quite impressed with his work. Highly recommend!

The Measure Of Quality

BySLVon May 9, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In reading Chris Fox's book 5,000 Words Per Hour I learned a valuable lesson in that the measure of quality does not equate to taking forever and a day to get your novel out into the market place. Just the opposite. If you're serious about making a living with your writing then you must be able to compete not only in quality, that's a given, but in the time it takes you to get your book out there. Perusing Amazon's Best Selling Rank among writer's who are crushing it I find they all have the following commonalities: #1. They all have voluminous catalogs with excellent best selling ranks that provide a monthly income equivalent to what some people make in a year. #2. They all are writing in ravenous markets that fans are gobbling up like M+M's, especially those fans that are members of Kindle Unlimited where they may read a book or more a day; just look at the Romance genre. #3. They all have a variety of series books, some with over ten books in their series. I also know from webinar interviews with some of these writers that one is cranking out a book a month while another writer is turning out a book per week, that's four books per month. Here's the thing what Chris teaches you is not some get rich quick scheme, but a lifetime skill that can turn into a habit, that if implemented on a daily basis will increase your speed and in turn increase your output. Does it work. I'm doing in now and seeing results. Slowly but surely you increase your speed through the habits you learn and you'll see more pages produced. But what about the quality you ask. Chris covers that and much more. Are there any guarantees? Ask yourself this question would you rather have one book to go in a year that may or may not sell or four or more? When you can increase your output you're creating more opportunities for potential fans to say yes. Now it's your turn. Good luck...

Great quick read, loved Audible version.

ByJenon May 20, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really like Chris Fox's writing! I listened on audible to this book and the reader was fantasic. He summarizes the information. However, I realized my issue wasn't as much with writing speed, although i do use voice record and get lots of words in per hour...my issue was with revision, reseach and editing. I found it best to track minutes/hours of writing/revising/editing time instead. The author summarizes the steps at the end, genius...and also has free apps! Love this guy, will read more of his stuff.
