So You Want to Be a Writer?

I meet lots of people who have a book idea in the back of their minds.  Maybe they've always wanted to get it down onto paper, but they don't know how.  It sounds like an impossible challenge!  I still consider myself a beginning writer, but the following books and websites have been helpful to me.
