Inadequate

An understatement.
When the teacher askes you what genre you write, don't ask "What's a genre?"
Protagonist? Antagonist? What are those?

I had a lot to learn to say the least. I learned quickly. I read just about every book out there about writing and I add to that list every week or two. I was (still am) a spunge and will never stop learning.
I will be posting a list of what I have found to be the best resources for writers as far as books go. And you will find, several authors agree with me. These will be your "go to" books that you'll want to buy and keep handy.
