Another really quick read and, again, to the point.
Key takeaways to add to your outlining process:
* Include character reveals through physical descriptions and tells
* Pace the number of physical descriptions and tells throughout your outline.
Interesting note: If the character reveals decrease as the series continues, the reader becomes less satisfied. I think that this somewhat depends on whether the genre is character-focused. For example, thrillers and mysteries are less so and would suffer less reader attrition as opposed to romance.

A new way of process .
This book with the first one was for me very important book. A new way to approach writing. It gave me a way to analyze my writing with new perspective . It is a method not build for everyone. It doesn't give you answers until you do the work
. Waiting for next one.

Very academic, not very useful
While in the first book, I found some useful nuts and bolts to use in my outlining process, this book was just meh. It read very difficult and I couldn't really see the usefulness of incorporating how many character traits you reveal in each scene/chapter. Safe to say, this 2nd installment just wasn't for me.

Meh. I find the psychology behind this concept interesting, and there were a few good nuggets here, but this didn't blow me away.
