Well worth the money.  Wendig delivers important advice without sugar-coating anything.  If anything, he profanity-coats everything.  His writing is funny, bonkers, cringe-worthy, and incredibly useful.  If you want a no-nonsense tutorial on how to be a successful writer, this book is one of the best.  Short and to the point, this book covers the necessary ground every writer needs to slog through.  There are no useless exercises.  There are no half-cocked statements or ideas.  Wendig is about what works, why it works, and why you had better shape up or quit writing.I had never heard of Wendig until sampling Blue Blazes, one of his novels.  He's great.  His writing style is excellent and unique.  You could learn quite a lot from both his fiction and his writing advice.  I highly recommend you check out his other books.  Great stuff.Also, for writing advice, you should check out:The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend Fear,Lessons from a Lifetime of Writing: A Novelist Looks at His Craft,Elements of Fiction Writing - Scene & Structure,Dark Thoughts on Writing: Advice and Commentary from Fifty Masters of Fear and Suspense,On Writing: 10th Anniversary Edition: A Memoir of the Craft,How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy and Science Fiction,Writing from the Inside Out: Transforming Your Psychological Blocks to Release the Writer Within,Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print.
