Any book on writing that cites poet Anne Sexton and excerpts Katherine Dunn's Geek Love is off to a good start, and Saltzman delivers in a breezy tome designed to help you quit taking yourself too seriously yet be utterly true to your own voice at the same time. And when he ends with Lillian Hellman's advice to never listen to writers about writing, you know he's got it exactly right.
