Ah, the irony angel comes again. This book...

in an of itself is probably fine. I don't know a thing about it other than the Amazon page, but when I read this line...
It's the literary equivalent of Prozac, cattle prods, M&Ms, and whatever else you need to get moving, get writing, and get it done.
I thought, "And yet, while reading the book you are not writing." :wink:
Anyways, I'm about three inches away from ordering a book called "Forensics in Fiction", if I get it (when I get it), I'll let you know if I think it's worth it.
Also, do people really have a problem getting motivated to write (more frequently than needing the occasional day off)? I understand family, illness, the dog, etc not giving peace to write, but lacking motivation? If people aren't motivate to write, why are they trying to become authors?
Isn't that the same as, "I want to be a doctor, but I can't be bothered to go to med school."
