I do love to write, and the book that helps me is: Crafting Novels & Short Stories. This book has several valuable tips on not only becoming a better writer, but also tips on making your book better. The tips come from writers such as Nancy Kress, David Corbett, Elizabeth Sims, Charles Atkins, and the list goes on.
There's a valuable tip that is shown early on, and that tip would be: write every day; it's a tip that I had heard before reading this book, and seeing it written in this book helps the importance of that valuable piece of advice.
Every single chapter is useful to the learning experience of the writer. My personal favorites are chapter 2 (emotion-driven characters), chapter 3 (depicting convincing relationships, chapter 4 (create the perfect (im)perfect heroic couple), chapter 5 (choosing your character's profession), chapter 6 (three techniques for crafting your villain), and finally chapter 7 (create vicious villains).
All in all, I feel this book is a must-have for any aspiring writer.
