If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.

My favorite book on writing is David Morrell's Lessons From a Lifetime of Writing. He's the guy who created Rambo with his novel First Blood. It tells you everything you need to know. I also own a book called Writers on Comics Scriptwriting. I reviewed it for scryptic over a year ago, and I've read it a bunch of times. IF you're interested in writing comics then this is a good option; far from perfect, but as a book of interviews it asks all the right questions and has pages of scripts to work from. Hope that helps.

I have Writers on Comic Svriptwriting 2 and it's probably the biggest inspiration and motivation I have. Definitely recommend it (and I need to get a copy of the first one).

I second that. And I've got the first one as well, they're both great.
I also recomend the "Elements of Fiction Writing" series. Great writing resources not just for comic-writing, but all around. In particular of that series Orson Scott Card's "Characters and Viewpoints" and Jack. M. Bickham's "Scene & Structure" are great...

I just recently read Writing for Comics by Peter David and found that to be very helpful.
