Query: Author is arrogant and the information is sometimes not useful

The writer of this book is SUPRISE an author of fiction books himself. He will frequently include his own stories into the textbook and show them as a "positive example" while frequently they're boring and I think that other author's works could have been better suited as positive examples of fiction writing. There is a chapter in this book that literally discourages every type of story line. My favorite: the one that says that you should never write about vampires because you will never make a dime. Has this person never heard of Twilight. Not to mention the book was written in 2007 AFTER the movie had came out. I think someone who has been living under his pop culture rock shouldn't be advising people about what is popular and what isn't.
