Inspiration is something that all writers struggle with at some point of the creative process. Stewart Ferris's book How to Get Inspired to Write - and the secret of writing without inspiration aims to reduce those moments of procrastination and staring at blank pages. He demonstrates that writers, with a few tricks and guidelines, never have to wait for inspiration to strike; that they can just write and the words take care of themselves.
It's available through Amazon at http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006KC32OS/ref=rdr_kindle_ext_tmb and is my book recommendation of the month.
Also, there is a great section that discusses redrafting and how to break the edit down into 10 stages or sweeps; each redraft stage, concentrating on one element of the story - such as structure, dialogue or description, through to a final sweep for punctuation.
I'm currently reading a few eBooks about writing - all of which will find their way onto the blog in the near future. You can keep up to date with all my reads following by email (you will find the box at the top right-hand side of the blog page) or via Networked Blogs etc. I'm on Facebook and Google+ too.
