Best Book on Nuts & Bolts of Writing I've Read:

This is, without a doubt, the best book on the nuts & bolts of writing fiction I've read (and I've read quite a few.) Ms. Kress lays out the kinds of techniques for organizing stories that I've been looking for everywhere. If I were going to teach a class on creative writing, this would be the text book!

Sorry there is not a 10 ranking... because that is what this book of hers deserves.
