Not Pounded By Self-Doubt Because I Can Do Anything I Set My Mind To

by Chuck Tingle

Hank has always wanted to create something, but with a number of excuses to draw from, he’s never really gotten around to producing much of anything. Still, this is a dream that continues to linger inside him, and after coffee with an old friend, Hank’s overwhelming motivation to create finally bubbles to the surface.

Now Hank is returning to three character ideas that have been rolling around in his mind for ages: a fish pilot, a robot hand model, and a werewolf lawyer. But when the physical manifestation of Hank’s own self-doubt shows up, these ideas are quickly forgotten once more.

Now it’s up to Hank to push past the seduction of doing nothing and write his first novel in this completely poundless tingler!

This important tale is 4,100 words of personal motivation and self-realization with no sex at all.

Unexpected! Easily one of the finest short pieces on the writing process I've read. Energizing and motivating from the first word. Should be required reading in every creative writing class.

Surprisingly, and ironically, this non-erotic title is the first 'Tingler' I've actually read, though Chuck's been my beacon of inspiration for a long time based solely on his hilarious titles and descriptions. I haven't been taking advantage of my Prime lending library, but now that I know I can use it on his books I'll definitely be back for more!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A kind of serious Chuck Tingle? Huh...

Honestly, aside from the ATROCIOUS editing (I'm talking misspelled words level of bad), I thought this book was pretty... motivational? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am. It was a #tingle book with a message, and that message is that you can do anything! I was... sweet.

It wasn't funny, which was surprising to me, but it was a very nice little read. I would have given it more stars, but, dude, please just proofread ONCE before hitting publish. Please.

Absolutely delightful, clever, and charming, this was exactly the breath of inclusive, inspirational, and silly fresh air I needed right now.

Actual good advice here and some I’m trying to take to heart.

A great asexual tingler!

Chuck Tingle, world's greatest author, has done it again! Not only is this a great no-sex tingler, but it also has a great message about turning away from self-doubt and being creative like you want to be!
