rkking's review against another edition
4.0
Some great info in these entries by a handful of great authors. Some of which I already practice daily (or try to), some of which I really should start doing.
My favorite entry spoke of the emotional core that any solid story needs to possess. It's very true.
Any writers out there would do well to add this to their repertoires of writing advice.

A good little collection of essays on the subject of writing, including how to focus on getting writing done.

Not a bad collection
This is a collection of other writers in an attempt to give aspiring writers some insight to the industry. It is well laid out and evenly paced and I did learn a thing or two from this.

Honest, insightful, and inspirational
One of the best books about writing I have ever read. Relevant and refreshing takes on various aspects of being a successful writer from actual successful writers. The content is practical, realistic, and motivating. Though the articles are written mostly by horror authors, most of the material could be applied to any genre. If you are serious about your writing, read this book.

Got this for free from the publishers website.
It's for most a mix of the usual essays on writing and editing, what stood out to me was Jack Ketchum's "Go pace yourself" which gives the most practical writing advice.

Much needed motivational pep talk
Needed something to give me a boost and keep me going as I ploughed through a first draft. This did the trick, so ... where's my notebook?
