Rating: 5 out of 5

Following the author's advice, in this book, can only make you a better writer. Sure, you can touch on some of this subject matter in various blogs, posts and articles, but to have it all laid out in a book, covering everything you need to know in one sitting, was an aha moment for me.  Exploring the different aspects of your character's emotional journey, the transformative arc, with various examples the author provides, was enlightening.For example, the author writes, "Core events can be altered to create depth or lower the intensity levels while keeping most of your story intact. It doesn't need to be shown in your story, or even talked about. The simple fact that it exists and you know it, works as a carpenter's level keeping your story consistent on a sometimes invisible to your reader level."  Before that statement, how many beginning writers had a sense, that they needed to include as much backstory, as they felt was necessary, to force a visible character arc, on the reader?I'm confident in saying that the lessons in this book will transform your writing.
