How to Write a Blockbuster in the Teach Yourself series. It's a dreadful title, but the book's good. I go back to it to remind myself of the important stuff.Leila Rasheedhttp://www.leilarasheed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-23621225900859115622012-01-02T17:41:27.060+00:002012-01-02T17:41:27.060+00:00A very useful post!A very useful post!Leila Rasheedhttp://www.leilarasheed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-12230527876000486312012-01-02T17:26:58.721+00:002012-01-02T17:26:58.721+00:00Great list, Susie - I'm a particular fan of Do...Great list, Susie - I'm a particular fan of Dorothea Brande. And Jane Wenham Jones's Wanna Be A Writer We've Heard Of is a hoot.<br /><br />Helen - I agree that an important part of using such books is having the confidence to say "No, that's not right for me". And that's easier to do if you know a bit about your writerly self already. I do understand why some people think "I want to write a novel" and then go out and buy a book called "How To Write A Novel", but I think it's always wise to plunge into your first draft first, and only clamber back out, dry yourself off, and go to the library, later.<br /><br />I've got a long list of books for writers over on my blog, so I hope it's all right to post a link. I'm always keen for it to expand, so if there's anything you swear by that isn't listed then do, please post it there.<br /><br />http://emmadarwin.typepad.com/thisitchofwriting/books-for-writers-a-partial-view-and-a-partial-list.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-3051112409800902532012-01-02T17:00:00.028+00:002012-01-02T17:00:00.028+00:00Fab list, I LOVE finding out new writerly links. ...Fab list, I LOVE finding out new writerly links.

I used to worry that they might interefere with my natural process but I suspect this worry was misplaced.<br /><br />I htink I'm now confident enough to gather as much information as possible and use what helps me and my process and discard what doesn't.<br /><br />It's only taken me seven years to get here.
