This review is from: Write Great Fiction - Plot & Structure (Paperback)
As an aspiring writer, this book helped me structure my story. If you want a book that will teach you beginings, middles and ends, and where in your story each begins and ends, this is the one for you. The tips were very helpful and the book was well written.This is one of the best books I've read in fiction writing.

Good book for the aspiring author,
By Moe Sasseville "Moester" (Montreal, QC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Write Great Fiction - Plot & Structure (Paperback)
This book gives you not only several good pointers on how to write, but it also helps get you in the mood to write. I would have liked to have a little bit more help on how to structure ideas and an example of an outline would have been nice; but I was satisfied with the overall quality of the book.

Just what I needed!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Write Great Fiction - Plot & Structure (Paperback)
Before purchasing this book, I had borrowed a copy from the local library and read it. I was skeptical initially, because I always thought that plotting was my strong point in writing and I probably wouldn't need a book to tell me more about it. Boy, I was wrong! There are so many things I learned from this book that it has improved my writing tenfold. The author shows us how to make each scene, each chapter full of tension and suspense, and to weave this in and out in a such a way as to make the entire book unputdownable.When I had the library copy with me, I found myself making plenty of notes based on the tips provided. Then I said to myself that I might as well get my own copy so that I save the time spent on note-taking and use it for actually writing something! I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to take their writing a notch (make that several notches) higher.
