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

5.0

One of the best writing books I’ve read in the past year, and one of the most practical I’ve ever read. It has an extremely clear and concrete philosophy and examples that are actually good and helpful. Of course, I didn’t agree with everything in this book, but I found it especially helpful in the areas of constructing character arcs and increasing/improving causal links between scenes. I also liked the concrete methods used; I think the more concrete writing advice is, the easier it is to accept, reject or adapt.
