  Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it.
  		 
  Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid’s exile and Dostoevsky’s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.

  This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis from Factfulness. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
  An argument for a fact-based, less fearful view of the world, this book shows how global data on health, wealth and education contradict widespread pessimism. By exposing the instincts and biases that make people think everything is getting worse, it teaches simple habits for reading statistics and seeing long-term human progress more clearly.
