The author mostly talks about “pantsing” and there’s not a lot of tips for outlining. It’s more pep talk / general advice than specifically how to write a novel in thirty days. That being said, it’s a very quick read, especially if you skim, and I think there’s lots of use in here if you’re a new writer (I highlighted lots of bits to refer back to later). Basically, Baty is here to help you get your butt in your chair and pump out some words—and not particularly good ones, either. I happen to subscribe to the idea that first drafts should be really, really shitty, so I’m okay with this. If you don’t, or if you’re looking for more specific or structured writing tips, this is probably not the book for you.
