The Truth about Writing
Michael Allen, the grumpy old bookman, has made his book The Truth about Writing freely available in pdf.
It is a guide for all aspiring writers, but one with a rather different tone than all the many books on writing available in shops. In fact, it opens with the ominous words:
WRITING IS AN activity which can seriously damage your
health. It can consume huge amounts of time and energy,
and it can lead to frustration, rage, and bitterness. The
overall purpose of this book is therefore to protect and
preserve the sanity of anyone who is unfortunate enough to
be afflicted with the ambition to write.
