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?
