A great overview of what makes up a compelling story. Intructions to write a story that works or fix a story that doesn't. Applies to all tpyes of storytelling: short stories, novels, screenplays, you name it.

Beginning writers or ones who want some extra guidence.

The clear exlinations. Everything makes sence. I would have a vague story idea in my mind but I didn't know where to start. This takes the mystery out of the process.

Start writing! Actually I wanted to start after the first chapter, and I got to because there are exercises at the end of each chapter.

Like no matter how frustrated I got with myself and my writing, I'll get better if I just stay with it.

Is humorous and logical. I found both helpfull.

It is fun and easy to read and is full of great advice. When I finish a rough draft now I open up the chaper on rewriting and go through each point, trying to make my story the best I can.
