Hi Joelle,
Your comment was lost in my notifications, I’m so sorry. I just saw it today. I’m happy you got some ideas from this story.
Lots of books to choose from. I’ve enjoyed (and would definitely recommend) the following.
I suggest you read these first:
On Writing: A memoir of the craft — Stephen King
The Artist’s Journey — Stephen Pressfield
These are more instructional, but also very good:
Nobody wants to read your shit — Stephen Pressfield
How to write best-selling fiction — James Scott Bell
Writing great fiction — James Hynes
These are not directly related to writing, but you absolutely must read both. They will change the way you see creativity (and the world):
Big magic — Elizabeth Gilbert
Creative calling — Chase Jarvis
Hope this helps. Let me know if you like them!
Happy writing :)
