Good, but very basic and slightly outdated.
Spans through a variety of topics, from how to start, to how to actually write, to publishing and how to make money off your writing.
It had some interesting points of reference (like the section on terminology, or #44 and #82), but still brought nothing new to the table. Recommended for someone just getting into writing and who doesn't know much about the subject at all, but if you are already pretty familiar with writing, I'd give it a pass.

As a beginner writer I can appreciate this book. It was very insightful not only in the writing process but also what to do and what not to do when it comes to publishing, how to sell your work and also work/life balance. The wisdom that the author gave in the book was invaluable. It opened my eyes to the things that I could expect and what would not happen. The author gave true realistic advice as well. This book cleared up so many myths and fallacies that I had about writing and being a writer in general. I'd just like to thank the author for writing this book and his invaluable insight.
