The few books on book share focus on literary writing, with little concern 
about plot.  There is one on science fiction, but if you are interested in 
writing fantasy, mystery or romance, forget it.

I thought of just jumping the gun, but thought that I'd see if anyone else is 
interested besides myself, or if I'm just fanatical. (And if I am, that's 
totally okay with me and I might just go ahead and try my luck anyway for
