-Writing Down the Bones- is one of my all time favorites, and probably one of the best writing books out there. It's one I try to revisit every so often when I need a bit of motivation.

That's great. I'd never heard of it before, but this seems to be very
good advice.

I dont have the money to buy every book on a bookstores bookshelf, at some point you got to select the genre you like best. That still leaves hundreds of books that wont be read in my life time. I't misleading.

This is why writing books are useless.
