I'm listening to the audiobook Consider This by Chuck Palahniuk, who also wrote Fight Club, and I feel like he's speaking directly to him at times. Something he says throughout the book is, "If you were my student, I'd tell you..." and he gives direction and suggestions freely that makes you feel as if he is daring you to take his advice. His advice is not what you'd typically find some of the writing books out there. His methods stray out of bounds but somehow keep a toe or two within the lines. It's been inspiring to say the least but there's something else about his words that strike me differently.
