On Monday we went to Half Priced books. I wanted to look for the recommended book Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight Swain. I combed the writing section without finding it. The only book I did pick up and flip through was 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes: (And How to Avoid Them) by Jack M. Bickham. I didn't buy it, but it looked like it had useful information in it. I'm reading old posts from Eric Nylund's blog today and low and behold he had picked up and read that very book toward the beginning of his writing days. Maybe I should've bought the book.
