I am an aspiring author, and right now my only published work is on Fanfiction.net this book inspired me to start on my own book that may now see the light of day. It is called Robert's Rules of Writing. It has the 101 unconventional rules of writing that can actual lead to the production of a book without all the trendy ideas that create more stress than words worth reading. I hope you check it out, it could easily be the best start of a novel. http://www.amazon.com/Robert%C2%92s-Rules-Writing-Robert-Masello/dp/1582973261 Hi!

Plus she makes great analogies about broccoli and radio stations that both entertain and help you retain the info. Excellent read.

My favorite books on writing definitely have to be The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing a Novel and Janet Evanovitch's How I Write. If you're ever looking for inspiration the Pocket Muse is a lifesaver. Hmm,
