Ha ha ha who would do that... oh wait...
If you've already done some writing this book will make you both laugh and cringe as you read about some of the silly things writers so, scoff at them, and then run across the ones you know you've done or still do. Whoops!
This book teaches its valuable lessons through humour and as well as reading right through this will be one I'll keep to hand to dip into for reminders. by Elizabeth
