About the author

From proudly winning a poetry award at the age of six to never again winning an award he was proud of (insecurity, not ego), James Dowd is a sometimes-award-winning Writer and Creative Director at Digital Surgeons with nearly two decades of experience spanning TV production and advertising.
In recent years, going from many quickly-cancelled TV shows at MTV to the adworld of Madison Avenue, James spends most of his time writing and creating for brands such as Kellogg's, Mercedes, Anheuser-Busch, Mars, Sealy, Sperry, Capital One, Diageo, Ford, (Is anyone still reading these?), Kraft, and the NHL. Outside of all that, he spends his time zoning out on hiking trails, neglecting normal adult responsibilities, and hanging out with his mutts, Lucy & The Jeb.
If you’d like more of his annoying ramblings, or would like to book James for a speaking engagement or Writer’s Workshop, you can find him at WriteDumb.com.

Many writing books tend to be pretentious and treat writing as though it's a very precious gift bestowed upon the few, but this book is the real-talk version of inspirational and practical writing advice. It helped this chronic over-thinker-withs-something-to-say get over her fear of writing and just...write. Highly recommended for professionals and students alike. I'm sure i'll revisit this many times over - five stars!
It also taught me how to write, I think... I mean I DON’T think.
Most importantly my tears didn’t stain it!
You should buy this book if you want to be entertained whilst getting learnt.
If you want to get learnt and be bored to death then don’t get this book, loser.
And if you’re looking for something to fill the void in your soul: go to therapy.
So as I was browsing Amazon for those socks that ninjas wear so I could make sure I'm doing this thing right. You know the ones that make you look like you only have two giant toes for feet? Those. And I just couldn't stop thinking of Calvin. He would always do this thing with his paws and his face when he was ashamed of me. I just couldn't get the picture out of my head. So when my bathroom training started I knew I just had to really dedicate myself completely to this. I needed help, and since even my own award winning hamster abandoned me because I'm pathetic I decided to pick up a book that would help me get my body write for the journey to physical excellence that lies before me. That's when I found this book.
Once it arrived I was so excited. I looked at Calvin's articulated skeleton and said, "this is it buddy, this is when everyone stops being polite, and starts getting real." I dove in head first. I read the book cover to cover, and... Absolutely nothing about becoming a man with cyborg-like strength or the agility of a gazelle at all. I felt cheated. I felt barren. I felt weak. I felt an undying urge to write a children's book about base jumping. It was a sign. I must become a writer.
Anyways buy this book, but only if you wanna write because it has absolutely nothing about extreme pilates in it at all.
