Other great writing books:

- Writing Down the Bones

- Bird by Bird

- On Writing Well (nonfiction writing only)

- The War of Art

I generally have tried to follow the feedback of writing consistently, even if you don't feel like it. Stephen King mentions how he would allow him to just sit at his desk without writing if he wanted, but that he always would set aside the time and not do anything else.




I am currently reading Bird by Bird and it is mind blowing. I have also read On writing by Stephen King but I found that Bird by Bird has more content than on writing or perhaps that has something to do with the fact that On writing is his biography + stuff about writing.
