This book is written in a light, easy style.The analogies are easy to remember. It's written to motive writers. Although the title specifies romance books, it is a quick and easy guide to some of the basics you need to know when writing your first novel. Starting is the hardest part. It has great tips to get the juices flowing. The size of the book makes it obvious it's not meant to give you all the answers, just some of the basic things you need to get started.

The one topic it lacks, however, is joining writers' groups to help with the PROCESS of writing. You could buy lots of books on writing, but I've found it's so much better to join a group to get feedback before it even gets to the editing stage. Online or in person, this is a MUST for writers--to learn from others. My personal recommendation is scribophile.com. I never knew all the things I was doing wrong until I found this group.
