Hah! I just ordered 4 books on creative writing from Amazon. I have to allow 10 days for delivery. English titles are not available at once. Anyway. once they're here and once I've read them, I will let you know if they are helpful or not.

The books I ordered are:
What If: Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers - Anne Bernays, Pamela Painter
The Key: How to Write Damn Good Fiction Using the Power of Myth - James N. Frey
Writing a Novel: And Getting Published - Nigel Watts
Dynamic Characters - Nancy Kress

Next on my list:
Plot (Elements of Fiction Writing) - Ansen Dibell

This reminds me, I meant to review the second of my novel writing book. *makes mental note*
I remember I reviewed one already. I think I will hunt down that post and put it into my memories. Have to go through my memories anyway and restructure them.

The Nigel Watts one is good. The others I don't know, but tell me what you think and I'll take a peek. The other well thumbed book I have is 'Creating Suspense in Fiction' by John Paxton Sheriff. Funnily enough I bought it with my birthday book tokens from the staff at work last year.

Ooooh! Wow. Yes, I've read some of her stuff. And she reviewed a few of my stories.
This seems to be a fandom that attracts pros.
Thanks for telling me!
