Write to Learn, 2nd edition:

Inspirational, easy-to-read tips on the writing process.:
Possibly written as a college text, Write To Learn is for every adult writer, and for teachers working with children, adults, beginning and advanced writers alike.

The book is specific, detailed, based on actual writers' struggles, thankfully short, and worth every dollar. I left this book with the feeling that writing is fun and for everyone.
