Whew!
All of those lovely authors and writers and industry-persons took time from their schedules to offer advice and exercises and encouragement. Lots of them didn't mesh with my writing style, some of them were weird, some of them were self-congratulatory (very few of those) and some of them were like little golden nuts to squirrel away into my writer's file to pull out when I need a boost.
A fun resource, and a great summer read.
