Hi, folks. I came across these two free-to-download books yesterday, and found the first one so interesting I wanted to share the links:

http://www.truthaboutwriting.co.uk/

The author is Michael Allen, and here is the link to his blog:

I have only read the first one myself so far (I think it's actually the second one chronologically), but his arguments are very persuasive, and I just wonder what everyone else thinks of them.

From what he has to say about slush piles, I think that YWO is providing an excellent alternative for writers.

Excellent links!

I'm reading the second one now and it's fascinating. The advice about what/how to eat I agree with totally--it's very important for maintaining wellbeing, and facing the task of fitting writing into a hectic day.
