Pocket Workshop: Essays on living as a writer by Tod McCoy

Did not finish book.

I think my dissatisfaction with this book has mostly to do with the title. I expected the book to focus on life as a writer, ie practical tips for work/life balance, managing rejection/disappointment, organizing your writing, etc. I got 50% of the way through the book and found most essays to really be writing tips, ie how to write a good ending, effective plot structures, word choice, etc. Since I was looking for what the title said, I was disappointed in getting what I got. The advice itself was not actually bad. I did highlight quite a few things to save for later. But just know that it's not what it says on the tin.
