Still, there wasn't really anything new here. Only book on this subject that is different and a bit more truth driven is The Renegade Writer. <br /> <br />Although I only gave it 3 stars, it is one you might find used and spend less than cover for - might be nice to have in reference library.

The first book The Vampire Next Door: The Outerworld. There is a great section on contracts and a lingo section that can teach you a thing or two, but the meat of this book is Part IV Write section. It will show you how to turn one idea into several and where to submit it. You will learn more about the publishing world that will carry over to other areas of writing. It is a must for my bookshelf.

Stealing time from employers goes on all the time but it is unethical and is to blame for much of the decline of workplace productivity in this country. For the authors to encourage it undermines the validity and integrity of the rest of their book.
