| Writer's market. |
|
| If you are in any way considering publication or even thinking it might be a nice idea someday, I would advise getting the most recent version of Writer's Market. I know the catalog has Writer's Market 2012 and possibly 2013. |

| Conflict & suspense |
| Bell, James Scott. |
| My opinion when it comes to books on writing is: if it helps you at all, it's worth reading. I'm putting this comment here because this book is more than worth reading, but I don't have much to say about it. |

| The Writer's Digest character naming sourcebook |
| Kenyon, Sherrilyn, 1965- |
| I always have trouble finding character names, so as books go, this isn't bad. But really? The best place to go is . It's a baby name website, but it's awesummly helpful. |

| Bird by bird : some instructions on writing and life |
| Lamott, Anne. |
| This is part writing book, part memoir, but I own it because it's truly amazing and very witty. Delves not only into writing but into the world of publishing as well. |

| Writing magic : creating stories that fly |
| Levine, Gail Carson. |
| Wait. Stop. Immediately go check out Ella Enchanted, which is the greatest of Levine's books. Then read this. Because she's my favorite author. And she will be yours, soon, too. |

| The 90-day novel : unlock the story within |
| Watt, Alan, 1965- |
| There are a number of "writing program" books, such as The Weekend Novelist(do not use that. It doesn't work), but this is the only one I've known that works. But be warned...it takes a lot of commitment to do a day-by-day program. |

If, like me, you're writing a book...or two...or five...these are great books on plots, characters and flat-out writing that I guarantee are useful.
