Have any of the successfully published writers here found the various best selling "How To" books dangerous, in that they guide aspiring writers into producing cookie cutter works? I'm currently reading "How To Get Published" and "How To Write A Book Proposal" (Those aren't the EXACT titles). While full of useful information, I find myself frequently wanting to veer off the beaten track detailed in these types of books. Any advice?
