Refuse to Be Done

Well, I expect this is a book I'll pick up and read through with each new novel project. It's at once advice and commiseration, acknowledgement and encouragement. This might be the most relatable and helpful writing book I've read, and it was the most enjoyable! If you're noveling, you should own this book.

Loaded with great advice.

The concept of a generative first draft and all the tips and tricks to pull it off was most helpful

The main idea of that the second draft is a true rewrite not revision not copy paste, when in doubt rewrite,is probably more helpful.

The third draft section has a lot a basic writing advice. The Highlights - explanation, backstory, weakest sentence, strongest sentences, where are moved is probably what’s most novel about that section.
