THe other 9 minutes might also be, but I'm still watching the video.

This book taught me everything I didn't learn in grad school about how to actually sit down and write. With the help of Bang the Keys, I'm over halfway through a book-length draft of a manuscript.

This looks like a great class... way better than any of the writing classes I took in college (and the teacher is cuter, too.) I'm definitely buying the book!
