As a practicing writer, I am always looking for tips to improve. I’m a discovery writer (AKA pantser) and I would like to blend the process. I have read many books on outlining, plotting, etc.; most are wordy and the advice is hidden (if given).
S. King: On Writing. I don’t read King anymore, but this book is good. The second half. It’s not a book on How To Write, but a book on cutting the fat to find the meat.
K. M. Weiland: Outlining your novel. Packed full of info but nothing on actually writing your outline.
John Truby: Story. In a 450 page book, only pages 267-284 are good. 22 point system.
Chris Fox: Lifelong writing habit. This super little book is about ways he uses to be more productive. I think Dean Koontz writes a lot more.
Dean Koontz: How to write bestselling fiction. Great, fun book. Very dated. 1980 something.
Best book ever: Giants of the Genre. A book of interviews with big names in the writing world. No info on writing but still bloody good.
