[Rusty Shumaker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I completed this book, going through the exercises and found that it clarified the lessons it took me ten years to learn as well. I highly recommend it even for those who have written a novel. Simply to clarify the thoughts in the process for your next piece you write.
