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

3.0

there's quite a few helpful nuggets of information in this book. but good god was it a struggle to finish. the interesting parts are drowned out by incessant overexplaining, basic human psychology that's "brain science", and to be quite frank a terrible story that was being built as an example to the advice. 
i dunno, it was helpful sometimes but it also should've been 150 pages max.
