Structuring Your Novel: Essential Keys for Writing an Outstanding Story by K.M. Weiland
4.0
I spent my time reading this book with half of my brain throwing things and shouting "No! That's boring and it sucks! Don't try to dictate my creativity to me! You're not my *real* Mom!"
I managed to console it slightly by telling it over and over again that until you know what the rules are you can't break them properly. That seemed to help.
The material is presented here in clear fashion, from different angles to make certain the message gets through, and with a lot of useful examples from well known works. (Where there were examples, there were plenty, but I wouldn't have minded a few more on some concepts that didn't get as much attention.) I don't expect I'll know for a while if I find this useful, but I know it made me want to write again. If only it came with some ideas about what to write.
