Good luck! PJ, it's a good one. I love how short and concise it is - perfect for perusing. Hi Book Twin! I follow him on Twitter too - you're right that his tweets are also great. I'm in awe of all of his writing wisdom. Laura, revisions really do seem to take over everything don’t they? Good luck!

I carry it in my bag and just open it at random and get gems of knowledge/inspiration/kick in the pants. I follow him on Twitter too at @jamesscottbell -- LOL. He tweets gems of knowledge there as well. And the book by Steven Pressfield is also excellent. Not as easy to find but worth the time to read. Book twin! :)

Hopefully, I will get to it. I have 2 writing books by my bed to get to - but revisions keeps getting in the way. :) Drowning in revisions is a good spot to read a book like that.

I feel like Bell boils down the important things and conveys them in a really clear way. Hi Heather! Good luck with the rest of the semester. You're almost there! :-) Jon, I'm glad your lists are so very precise. That way every book you buy knows its place. :-) Andrea, it's a really great read. You can continue the buzz on your blog once you've read it. Anne, I think Karen Strong also wrote about that on her blog recently. Apparently, all roads lead back to her blog!

I will add this to the list of books-to-buy-one-day-after-I-have-made-some-money-from-something-other-than-writing-so-that-I-can-make-some-money-from-writing. Or the other list, but that list's name is too long too share. ¡Excellente!
