Fiction first aid Instant Remedies for Novels, Stories and Scripts By: Raymond Obstfeld
non-fiction: writing 283 pages
Book Count: 54
Like every other book on writing this one has advice that goes against the advice in other books on the subject. This one's main oddity is the belief that if you get stuck at part of the story you should not skip ahead to the next part and then work to connect the two parts later as the author feels that getting stuck means that there is something wrong with the story so far that should be fixed. Also this book uses a constant editing method where you edit each chapter/scene before working on the next one. It does have a lot of good advice on how to fix common problems in writing. (However, it doesn't include the awesome "Old Spice Man" writing issue, "I'm in a chair!")
