Best books on writing–and you know that’s my opinion since this is my website. These aren’t in any particular order, it’s just the way I pulled them off of my bookshelf and stuck them on the desk to write this list. Well, actually they are in an order, biggest books on the bottom so they’ll be last on the list.

WRITE MIND by Eric Maisel
DEEP WRITING by Eric Maisel
FINDING YOUR WRITER’S VOICE by Thaisa Frank and Dorothy Wall
WRITING INSIDE OUT by Dennis Palumbo
SELF-EDITING FOR FICTION WRITERS by Renni Browne and Dave King
A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE SENSES by Diane Ackerman
THE WRITER’S JOURNEY (MYTHIC STRUCTURE FOR WRITERS) by Christopher Vogler
WORD PAINTING by Rebecca McClannahan
WRITING THE BREAKOUT NOVEL by Donald Maass
ON WRITING by Stephen King

I’m sure STORY by Robert McKee will be great if I ever develop the discipline and attention span to dive into it.

The last movies I watched:

Keeping Mum – I really, really enjoyed this. No big plot twists but just a fun dark, British comedy.

Shrek Three – They should’ve stopped while they were ahead. I’m glad the DH rented the DVD, that way I could get up and walk out. I did.

No trips on my horizon.


If you haven’t checked out my daily blog at this site and my group blog at www.soapboxqueens.com then you should. I chat there on a daily basis…except weekends…when I figure people need a break from my mouth.


Nothing on the books
