Writer on Fire: The Burn Means It's Working

Most writing advice is not designed to help you build a stable career. It's designed to keep editors and writing coaches employed.
There's a lot of bad writing advice on the internet. I've heard and believed most of it.
Professional writers don't need to waste time on useless minutiae.
I have a better plan:
Read this book. Put the lessons into action. Build an audience.
If you want to spend 600 hours deciding whether to use a semicolon or a dash, this book is not for you. But if you want a no-luck-required guide to building an audience and producing a body of work that will pay you until you die, this book is for you.
