So I bought a bunch of writing-related books and I thought I’d post the list in case any of you are interested. I’m hoping that they motivate me to do more writing in terms of quality and quantity, find my writing niche, get unstuck when I am caught in a bit of writer’s block, make the most of my blogging opportunities, familiarize myself with CMOS, and learn to write more tight copy. Whew! Not too much to ask for! What are you reading?
