I hope it doesn't mean I'm prideful because I hate reading non-fiction!<br />What I love are craft articles.

I took a survey on Twitter about a month ago and compiled a list of everyone's favorite writing books. It's posted at the top of my blog. It's an awesome list!! But still, my fav for writing craft is J.S. Bell. I love his Plot & Structure and his Revision & Self-Editing. <br /><br />How's homeschooling? Are you getting close to finishing your year? We're into our last week!
