Summary of this Book...
Featured within this book are the essays “25 Things You Should Know About…
…Being A Writer, Writing A Novel, Writing A Screenplay, Writing A F**king Sentence, Storytelling, Character, Plot, Dialogue, Description, Editing/Revising, and finally, Getting Published.

The book features sections such as:

“The Transubstantiation of Trope,” “Why Bad Decisions Are A Good Decision,” “Nobody Sees Themselves As A Supporting Character,” "I Want To Buy The Semi-Colon A Private Sex Island," and “Plot Is Promise.”

Contained within are things you should know about plot holes, self-publishing versus legacy publishing, "on-the-nose" dialogue, story versus plot, metaphors, copy-editing, killing darlings with a claw hammer, cursing like an undead pirate, and generally being a cranky and irreverent creative type.
This type of Book is good for...
If you want an easy book to dip in and out of while having your morning coffee. But only if you like profanity instead of sugar
I especially liked...
I found this a humourous way of tackling the ups and downs of writing
I didn't like...
However, I got to the 100th use of the word fuck (or was it ass) and thought "yes, this is very funny but is it teaching me anything other than new ways to insult people?"
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to...
I've kept it for future reference.
I recommend this Book because...
It is witty, somewhat insightful and easy reading
I don't recommend this Book because...
If you don't like the use of profanity, in the extreme
