So insightful
This is an outstanding book on story writing, structure, plot, characters, you name it. It checks all the boxes,
and he kicks open the doors to shares great information about all of this art form. After listening to this audio version, I’ll be ordering the actual book as a hard copy reference to so many insights. Very well done and you’ll be glad you took the time to check this material out. It’s a game changer.
