The Art of War for Writers: Fiction Writing Strategies, Tactics, and Exercises by James Scott Bell
Lots of practical stuff in here for traditional publishing (querying, finding an agent, etc.) that I will definitely be returning to when I'm ready for that.
As with all books on writing, I find much of it to be subjective. Some things here were helpful, some things not. Every writer has their own approach; you have to take the advice that sticks and ignore the advice that that doesn't work for you.
Overall, worth reading, but didn't blow me away.
