Practical and Inspiring. If you're dealing with creative doubt, writer's block or feelings of inadequacy, this book might have just the words you need to hear. It will be especially useful for first-time authors having trouble finishing their book.

Novel Advice by Kevin T. Johns is a smorgasbord of writer's tips, inspiration and hints about the writer's life. Woven throughout are stories about everything from roofers to rock stars to abstract painting.  This is my favorite kind of book--inspirational, full of good advice, and fun!
