[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good and fun book! As an aspiring writer, I tend to get caughtin a lot of blocks on where to start, what to what about, how to create conflict, and how to just start a story in general. This book takes those complications and simplifies them, creatingna fun metaphor that even gets someone as old as me excited about writing and taking a new approach to the process. I'll definitely try out some of the tips and exercises in here.
