Back to the point...the most helpful thing I ever got my mouse fingers on was On Writing: 10th Anniversary Edition: A Memoir of the Craft
by Stephen King. Yes, THE Stephen King. Of course, he has brilliant things to say! Duh. Now this is not a book with step by step instructions on how to write the next best seller. A book like that doesn't exist...trust me, I checked. Mr. King entertains you with stories from his past while giving you some of the best advice EVER. He changes your mindset on how you think about your characters, your story, everything!
Make ON WRITING the next book you buy. Oh and buy the actual book...not a nook/kindle version. Why? Books like this need to be touched and highlighted and underlined and worshiped. OK, so worshiping a book may be taking it a bit far but the paperback version has a really soft cover (it's the little things that matter).
