Writing is Hard: Don't Spend Money

Here's the second of at least three posts from Joe Konrath I'll be sharing. Though ostensibly it's a warning against the temptation to try to buy your way into a writing career (whether through writing classes or book doctors or whatever), it's chock full of other great advice as well. I'll be printing the whole post off and keeping it at my desk.

Sample quote:

When you're learning how to walk, you don't take classes. You don't read how-to books. You don't pay experts to help you, or do it for you.

You just keep falling until you learn on your own.
