Hi Nicole,
I'd love to know what titles interest you regarding
writing! It's possible that I own a couple of them, maybe, and could
scan them, just haven't gotten to them yet. Would you be willing to
post a list of books on writing that interest you here on the
list? I really like several books that Bookshare does have on the
subject of writing. There are many more on the site that look
interesting. These are just my favourites. I also have a bunch in
my personal print collection.
Have you checked out any of the following?

To anyone who is passionate enough about writing to want to improve
yours every chance you get (and I know there are some, because I've
listened with longing to some of the writers' practice meeting
archives): Have you ever noticed that there are a ton of amazing
books for writers out there, and a minute percentage--if any--make
it into some accessible format? I'm not talking about the generic
"do this and that and don't forget to cross your t's and dot your
i's" books, I'm talking about the ones that really help and
encourage one to broaden and deepen, or give prompts that force you
to be exploratory and beat the walls of your box to shreds. I've
looked everywhere I can reach for these, and so far haven't gotten
anything out of searching. I can't scan books yet myself because the
only scanner in my house is about twelve years old and ceased to
function properly about seven years ago--poor old thing, it was
retired and is now languishing in some unknown place haunted by the
fell shadows of dust bunnies--but I know of some good titles of
these books. I thought of just jumping the gun, but thought that I'd
see if anyone else is interested besides myself, or if I'm just
fanatical. (And if I am, that's totally okay with me and I might
just go ahead and try my luck anyway for kicks. *grins*)
Blessings,
Nicole
