What are you favorite "how to write" and other "being a writer" type books?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Stephen King - "On Writing"
Even if you don't care for King as a writer, he has a great way of explaining the mystery craft of writing and why he is able to produce so much content and come up with such unique ideas.

2. Anne Lamont - "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life"
Very funny and touching. Uses many examples from her own life and delves into the questions of not only "what" we write, but "why" we write.

I agree-Lamott's book really helps you look at the day-to-day of writing.
