I feel like I'm studying again, but for myself.
This is such a meta read - there are, of course, actual tips and bits of guidance for writing. But the actual writing of these things is, in itself, a lesson (no, many lessons) on good writing.

The 31-page intro should absolutely count towards writing. I read this book back in 2012 and have a memory of liking it and thinking it was really good. Possibly slightly influenced by my professor, who I adored. But it's frequently on the list of books to turn to for writers, so I'm coming back to it as I start my own writing workshop.
