When I was writing screenplays, I love Blake Snyder's Save the Cat! books. I wish they made a formula-type book like that for novels. At least I haven't found one yet.

I'm reading On Writing right now and a friend loaned me Saving the Cat. My favorite though is Writing Magic by Gail Carson Levine, followed closely by The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman.
Mmmmm....I have Stephen King's book on writing and pick it up regularly to soothe my writer's spirit, but a book I love is Stein on Writing by Sol Stein. Also Bird by Bird is excellent, too.
I really want to read Save the Cat.
I think my favorite is The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman.
On Writing is a great book. My favorites are by Heather Sellers.
