Three days ago I bought a book on writing, 'Gotham Writer's Workshop Writing Fiction'. I've learned a lot from how-to books, but this one is good for something I currently need more than another lesson on plot: It has writing exercises that keep me going for several hours each day, way past what the text asks.
Thought I'd pass it along for anyone needing a startup kick.

This is a great book. Very comprehenisive, and is one of the must-have books in the writing-books collection.

You're welcome! I've been writing rabid for three days now (since the day after I bought it) and I'll probably write another six or eight hours today. Definately a good kick in the pants. I have two complete rough draft shorts from it and lots of useful fragments, and that's besides the good advice. I dread finishing it (and I'm almost to the end), because I'm enjoying this so much. I might just read it again and do all the exercises again, too.
