Books on how to build Application Software?

So I know how to program but I just don’t know what to do with it. Kind of like I know English but idk how to write a 500 page book. I have an idea for an application that can solve a real world problem but I have no idea how to make it work and do what I want it to do. I’m pretty comfortable with the web and working with frameworks but I want my projects to do more than just store/retrieve data from the database. What kind of books can you recommend to get me thinking like a software Developer. How do you learn how to build a system with settings and maybe levels of user permissions. I would image that would take a higher level of abstraction to program but idek where to start to go in that direction.
