Books on writing/language?
#6
RE: Books on writing/language?
Steven King's "On Writing" is defintely one of my favourites. Also Dinty Moore's "The Mindful Writer."

As a writer, I prefer writing books that are more descriptive than prescriptive. In fact, I'm thinking of working on a book that details the evolution of a short story I wrote from its genesis to consultations with a bestselling author to its eventual conclusion, complete with several drafts of the story and how it got to each point. Maybe when I actually get around to publishing it, I'd recommend it. Of course, that'll likely have to wait until I get at least one book out.
