One of the best books on writing I've read. No magic formulas, no quick and easy. There is a lot to unpack here, and the book will remain one of my craft companions for many years to come.
After reading all the sections, there are several writing exercises for the reader to start a concrete practice. It's fantastic, you don't need more of my rambles, go read it.
Challenging to read and definitely dated in some of the references, but generally sound advice.
