review:
I’m torn on this one. I guess it’s one of the classics of books on writing, and some of it was terribly inspiration in getting me to just keep writing already. But some of it was just too "fluffy" for me. So as to avoid getting into stereotypes, I’ll just leave it at that.

I think if you could remove some of the fluffy bits of this, and some of the business-hype-speak of Making Ideas Happen, and then put the two together, you’d have a damn fine book for writerly types.
