How to Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead, by Ariel Gore

This is an absolutely marvelous book which gives any writer or wanna be writer motivation, inspiration and practical methods for writing and getting published. I am almost finished reading it now and have derived much of real use from it. In short, the biggest lessons I took from it were that rewriting and rewriting again are essential, and that writing is just the beginning, with publishing the end game. No publication, no fame or cash or even feelings of closure. I am grateful to Ariel Gore for having put this book together for us.
