Helpful Score: 1

One of the best books on writing I've run across. Lots of examples of (now) famous authors' tactics for dealing with discouraging periods and rejection. Drives home the point that "success" is largely a matter of perserverance and determination, which can't be emphasized strongly enough for those who beat themselves up over "lack of talent" etc. Mention of all the writers who considered one or two thousand words/day - about 5 pages of most modern books - a decent goal sure made me feel better!
