I had been attempting to write novels for literally decades without ever finishing a single one when I encountered this extraordinarily useful guide some years ago. With its help I finished the novel that, after several years of revisions, I sold to a major publisher.When I set out to write the next few books my publisher wanted I returned to The Story Withing Plotting Guide anytime I got stuck. Working through the exercises and examples always helped me pinpoint the issues I needed to deal with to make my story work.I've read a lot of books on how to write fiction, but none of them went into the level of detail and practical hand-holding that this one does.Highly recommended!
