Looking for "how to" books on writing fiction. (please I need some suggestions)?
Looking for how to book on writing fiction. More specifically I'm looking for books on how to build tension, suspense, and mood.
I feel becoming especially good in these 3 aspects is particularly important for me. So if you could recommend books on any of these subjects I'd appreciate. I'd also like it if the books were devoted mostly on these topics rather then be devoted on another topic and then have one or even all of these topics explained in only a chapter or two.
Thanks : )
