Story Genius: How to Use Brain Science to Go Beyond Outlining and Write a Riveting Novel by Lisa Cron

4.0

I really enjoyed the focus on character instead of plot in this one. I agree, that that makes a better book and not just another paint by the numbers book.

This book ignores worldbuilding, so it’s at times not as actionable as the author intends for SFF (and I guess for other books with significant research like Historical Fiction etc). Can I please get a book like this on worldbuilding too?

One of the most helpful writing books I’ve come across, which actually made me write while going along. In combination with something like Save the Cat very actionable.
