Is there one really good current resource for this?  I've seen a bunch in here but would like to see something crisp, concise and well presented.

I'm in a writer's guild elsewhere and they are compiling resource links for the wiki.

Not really.  Writing is such a personal and subjective process it is very hard to find a single guide that works for most people.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but it's a source that I was given in my class:

It's for everyone, not just Purdue students...as I don't go to Purdue.

I don't think I've mentioned it here yet, but How to Read a Book is an excellent guide to reading, and insofar as a better reader makes a better writer it's a must have.

If sheep entrails could in any way be related to the weather, i.e. sheep trails only originate where it rains, then you could use it as an accurate model for discerning what the weathers going to be like. Either, sheep shit makes it rain, or raining makes sheep shit. Sheep don't shit "randomly" sheep shit after they eat, it doesn't rain "randomly" it rains after water collects in the atmosphere.

Robert McKee's "Story" is geared towards screenwriting but it's great for any storyteller.
