Bird by Bird was worth it in that sense, and the general writing concepts it talks about are good. Not so much for people wanting an in-depth/technical look at writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-51345440733083728232010-03-08T18:11:51.075+00:002010-03-08T18:11:51.075+00:00Great review of a fab book.
