Making a Literary Life: Advice for Writers and Other Dreamers by Carolyn See

This is the most interesting and inspiring, but still practical, book on writing I have read. Although several sections relate to fiction with chapters on character; plot; point of view; geography, time, and space; and building a scene, See’s advice through most of the book can apply to almost any kind of writing (essays, non-fiction, magazine articles). Even if you are not currently a writer, you may feel like you are after reading Making a Literary Life.
