I Promised Writing Tips and Haven't Gotten Around to It. Here's a tip: There are better writing guides than Beautiful Writers.

 There are lots of exclamation points in Beautiful Writers!  Lots and lots!

If your writing style involves having expensive horoscopes charted, visits to gurus, free rent and food from a millionaire friend, and a free cruise from another rich friend, this is a great writing guide. For those of us who dumpster dive to get enough food to live on for the month, and are unlikely to have millionaire friends out here in the middle of nowhere, the book is like an old rerun of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

There are writing tips from various authors about things like what great mentors they had, but a lot of the writing tips started to look alike. The memoir part seemed so Hollywood that I just couldn't relate.  It's sort of a "throw your ideas out to the Universe and see how the Universe answers' type of how-to. That's okay but it's not for everybody.

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read and review Beautiful Writers!
