kristie911 said:On Writing is definitely the best I've read but I also have one called Forest For the Trees: An Editors Advice To Writers by Betsy Lerner. I really enjoyed it...in fact, I've read it three times. She has some really great advice.
I just started reading this (one that my library DID have!) and am really enjoying it so far.
I'm glad to see someone else mention Elizabeth George's book. This is one of the few writing books that I own. A lot of her techniques on research and character development really resonate with me.
Sounds like I am the only one who really didn't like The First Five Pages though! I thought a lot of his advice was simplistic.
