You just need to look @ the name: 5 Writing Books That Have Made Me a Better, More Creative Writer.
Clearly they didn’t do a good job.
Unsurprising, ‘cept for King’s On Writing & Strunk & White’s Elements of Style, which everyone already knows ’bout, they’re vapid inspirational books–cheap forms o’ therapy for the ditsy middle class. I’m so glad I can buy a book that tells me it’s OK to write; I know when someone tells me, “Don’t let self-doubt stop you,” I immediately stop letting my self-doubt stop me, ’cause I’m a robot with no independent thought.
