On Writing by Stephen King – I bought this book when I used to be an aspiring novelist, but I still go back to it to this day.

Moving more towards populist writing, Stephen King's On Writing is also quite excellent, and more in touch with many of the sorts of stories that games tend to tell.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
