I'm the kind of guy who stumbles through an avalanche of advice books looking for gems. Every once in a while, one smacks me on the back of the head (in that good way) and Write any Book for Profit in 30 Days or Less is one of those books. I loved it!I think that authors have a natural curiosity about fellow authors, particularly those in the same genre. And while I don't write about "how to write," I do tell humorous stories about my own writing experiences.And now I have found another blueprint for success! Last year I finally got off my butt and wrote a non-fiction book that was bottled up inside me. I even wrote a companion piece about the process of writing my book. Oddly, it's the companion piece - not the original book - that turned out to be the best seller.I have always wanted to write fiction, and THIS book WAS going to be my fiction inspiration. It has everything: tips, tricks and motivational kicks in the butt.  I say "WAS" because in the second half of the book the author makes a great case (and provides over 150 helpful hints) to motivate one write an autobiography!Now I'm not a famous person the stretch of anyone's imagination, so an autobiography never crossed my mind. Which is exactly why I like the idea. I've already made notes, and as soon as my next humor book gets published (this March) an autobiography will be my next project."Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we'll do it because its' brilliant nonsense."— Ford Prefect, The Restaurant at the End of the UniverseAny book that gives new tips, tricks and hints is well worth it. A book that inspires one to write a book, as this one has, is priceless.
