    Avoid the "The Writers' Group" here on Fim Fiction

    It's full of a bunch of people who snub any writing advice that would actually result in better writing. They show nothing but disrespect for solid advice with clear methods and instead tell people that "you should just feel pacing" and "you'll know how to do it after you write enough and become a better writer the natural way."

“He tries to persuade you to accept his judgement, he must persuade you to see things his way. And the only justification for this is that his way is better than yours - even for you.”
~Robert Scholes on critics, The Fabulators, page 4

Made me fall in love with this book.

Sounds like an interesting book. I always like Julian Baggini's 'Do they think you're stupid: 100 ways of spotting spin & nonsense from the media, pundits & politicians' Basically it helps one to spot weaknesses and flaws in other peoples arguments.
