I'm currently in the midst of fixing up book 4 before sending it off to my editor in a couple of weeks.
Let it be known that editing isn't my forte. The process is tedious and I hate the minutiae of it all, which is why I'm so thankful for my editor (and I highly recommend that all writers hire a professional editor if they intend to self-publish.)
Today I'm escaping from my editing prison and sharing my 5 favorite books on writing and creativity. This selection won't help you with all the technical aspects of writing a good novel. Instead, this list will nurture your creative soul with inspiration and wisdom. 
(Personally, while I struggle with the act of writing, I struggle even more with getting into the mindset of being creative. If you're like me, hopefully, these books will give you a loving mental hug and push you in the right direction too!)
