While standing in an interminable lineup for gasoline, she was reading Stephen King's "Misery." She claims it's the best book on writing out there.

Swain’s TECHNIQUES OF THE SELLING WRITER, which lays out dramatic structure and more in a very straightforward and entertaining way.<br /><br />Now off to tell Santa about all those ones in your list I’m now hankering for.<br /><br />P.S. Thanks to Kelly for Woolf's "house angel" tip - it definitely helps when someone's calling you to find the musical Santa when you're busy trying to kill someone in a very visceral, stylish manner.Steve MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026970188928733645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-71971636172641347662009-12-21T12:09:36.589-05:002009-12-21T12:09:36.589-05:00Great list--I found these two helpful as well (bot...Great list--I found these two helpful as well (both pubb'd in 2009):<br /><br />MAKE A SCENE: Creating a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time by Jordan Rosenfeld<br /><br />THANKS, BUT THIS ISN'T FOR US: A (Sort of) Compassionate Guide to Why Your Writing is Being Rejected by Jessica Paige Morrell<br /><br />(sorry if this comment appears twice--not sure what happened with first one)Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745370676930629418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-30914177155617537882009-12-21T10:58:45.459-05:002009-12-21T10:58:45.459-05:00The 'Virginia Woolf Writers Workshop' by D...The 'Virginia Woolf Writers Workshop' by Danell Jones and 'Longman guide to intemediate and advanced fiction writing' by Sarah Stone are some of the better ones I've read. And for beginning writers, 'The First Five Pages' by Noah Lukeman is a great place to start. I guess that makes me a shark. The difficult thing about recommending writing books is that everyone has different strengths and things they need to hear. Virginia Woolf wrote that you have to slay the 'house angel' to write- the part of you that looks after everyone- and I needed to hear that. Not that I don't do anything for my familoy anymore, but that other people consider writing more important than getting dishes done every. single. day.
