Floyd’s rule book of bad grammar is a self-help book written to test you on your literature and grammar. The book begins by talking about things like spelling, punctuation, and mispronunciations.

Three Paradoxes Solved by Writing Novels by Freda Hansburg
Shrink Rapt was my first novel-writing effort, self-published before its new release in a revised edition, courtesy of Micro Publishing Media. Completing it took eight years, my most arduous and gratifying accomplishment. As a psychologist, I value life lessons, especially when they come in the form of paradox. Slogging through to the finish taught me three vital things.
Read MoreRestore her by Cheryl Lacey Donovan (Book Review #708)
The book begins with the author explaining a little about herself and life. She then takes you on a 7-step journey addressing the fact that your body is a physical manifestation of you, but it does not define who you are.
The book is organized and is a self-help version of what you would need to heal, feel, and think to change things for the better. The literature is easy to read and to follow. The work is written with care. The author believes that relationships with family and friends influence and play a part in who we eventually become and helps deal with adverse outcomes and personal conflicts.
I would recommend this book to people who like self-reflecting material and enjoy working on bettering themselves in life.

Ten Revision Bugaboos by Mary Lawrence
An author works months on a manuscript and the satisfaction from typing that final period is certainly worth a celebration. However, the sense of relief and joy is short-lived for me. I’ve written five books in my Bianca Goddard mystery series, but before I show my manuscript to a beta reader or editor, I take the time to comb through it and look for these bugaboos that creep into my writing. You may have your own list of problems to scout for, but here are some of mine.
