What I liked about this book -- the brutal honesty. What I didn't like about this book -- the brutal honesty. I would recommend it to new writers -- especially those who would like to try writing memoirs.
Wow I was given this book by the author, and was totally surprised. Right? When an author gives you a book your first impression is they are tired of storing the cases of books they have on hand.
Turns out the book is amazing with lots energy in the form of encouragement and very sound writing information. If you are a writer, you will find this book a necessity for quick reference "do's and dont's." The title with attitude is something I would have been attracted to even if I didn't know Nikki. I met her at the Writer's Colony at Dairy Hollow where she read from her book "Near Sex Experiences," a hilarious read.
