Craft Books I Value
This is my current favorite character excavation book! A working book. I even made my own worksheets so I could drill down to the core of my characters quickly. Very highly recommended.

You will probably see a pattern when You look at these books. I tend to zero in on the books that help me bring my A-game in emotion. Also very highly recommended.

#1 favorite reference book.
|
Film School in a book. Storytelling instruction. Excellent excellent reference.
|
Great book for easy, step-by-step plotting. Super great. I use it in combination with Story Equation, and it tickles me down to my plotter nougat.
|
Awesome reference for learning to effectively employ and understand body language.
|
How do you want to hurt your characters? How deadly is it? How long will it take them to die? This book will give you ideas grounded in medical fact.
|
These last two books are not about craft, they're about what to do when writing gets hard. When you've pushed yourself too hard, and it's starting to add up. I hope you never need them, but they are wonderful resources to have.
