Hey, thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Again, one of those things that started off small and then got obsessive. It really is a good book – to listen to, at least.

Hey Pace, This was really, really good. Wow, thanks for posting this review of the book. This may be the first Stephen book I buy; I’ve never really been a fan of his books but I think he’s really cool and I love that he isn’t pretentious like so many other famous writers. I agree with every part you sumarized especially with what he said about writing courses. I cannot remember this very second who it was, but I came across a magazine interview of a writer some years ago who also advised against them. Anyhow, very informative. thanks.
