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

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I have wanted to pick up this book for years because I am enthralled by the craft of writing. This book shares a practical and approachable method to outline a story so that the book you write will not need major overhaul revisions. I really enjoyed that this book shares useful tips, and then gives real examples of how to utilize this information and highlights why this method works. Lisa Cron uses a real short story in her example and throughout the book you can see the idea became a tangible story that you really want to read. 
I highly recommend this book to anyone who aspires to write a book or anyone who is curious about how a novel is created and why some writing seems better than others.
