Verbalize: bring stories to life & life to stories by Damon Suede

5.0

Wow! I thought I was signing up for some quick tip on fleshing out the plot and beats. Some simple ideas to help with my outlining and occasional pantsing efforts.

What I got was a masterclass on the writing craft and a deeper understanding of grammar as a whole. Not to mention a long beautiful list of recommended reading. (book recommendation is my love language.)

If you've struggled to make characters 3D or have plots that aren't recycled cliche this book is here to help!

I want all my reader friends to read this so I can go on a long marathon of listing out actions, objectives, and tactics for all my favorite books and shows!

This is now at the top of my list of books you should absolutely read if you are a writer! You need it, trust me and read every morsel with undying devotion and it will boost you to new literary heights no matter your genre!

**Sidenote: definitely get the matching thesaurus to save hours of research and dictionary hopping. It is incredibly helpful and time-saving. AND if you're struggling with the character's VOID get the emotional wound thesaurus by Becca Becca Puglisi and Angela Ackerman!
