Great References for Fiction Writers

Yesterday, I listed a few good writing reference books for nonfiction. So today, without further ado, I've included a list of writing reference books for fiction:

Writing the Novel by Lawrence Block (Writer's Digest Books).

Writing Novels That Sell by Jack M. Bickham (Simon & Schuster, Inc.).

Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maass (Writer's Digest Books).

Story Structure Architect by Victoria Lynn Schmidt (Writer's Digest Books).

No Plot, No Problem by Chris Baty (Chronicle Books).

So You Want to Write a Novel by Lou Willett Stanek (Avon Books).

The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman (Simon & Schuster).

I own all of the nonfiction and fiction books listed and have found that every one of those books has at least one good idea. Also, it's not possible, at least for me, to find everything that I need and want in a single writing reference. It's probably a good idea to visit a bookstore and see what's available, page through a few writing reference books before committing any money.
