Not worth it!
The entire book could be summarized in a onepage bulleted list.This "author" spends more time bragging about himself than encouraging the new novelist. I would go so far as to say that this book will probably discourage more people than not from writing.I can't believe I wasted my time reading it. It's hard to believe this book was actually published. Ironically, the fact that this uninspiring book is in print should give hope to the readers that were beaten down by the weight of this guy's portly attitutde.
