Going great so far, very helpful in some area. A tad limited in others, so I'd advise other writers to look also into more in-depth books on plot. Scott James Bell's book Plot and Structure is phenomenal. Combining these two will make your outlining and plotting so much smoother.

So far a good book with some basic advice. I must admit I've found other plot books to be more detailed than this. However, we'll see how things go as I go through the book and give her plot system a try.

Amazing advice, I'm now ready to start Chapter 11 on revising my plot. I just finished reading all about pantsing and plotting and I am a mix of the two but more of a plotter/outliner and for camp nano coming up I'm working on my Walford Sisters Book One outline and possibly the series as a whole. The advice from this book will be greatly used!

Thus far have learned a lot about scenes and scene development in the last section. Now we're venturing into The Character Arc in plot, this shall be very helpful!

We are now getting into more meat of this book. Learning all about scenes right now and how exactly, step-by-step to write a good scene. This is very helpful thus far and I can't wait to read even more of this book. Would highly recommend!

Really getting some amazing advice in this book. I'm now learning about writing that pesky middle that many authors dread. If you're struggling with middles, I'd highly suggest his advice in this book!

Thus far this is a great resource for new and seasoned writers. Aids in learning how to master time and become productive with ones writing. I'm still at the beginning of the book, but thus far am very pleased with what I'm learning.

*note* this goes by page count, my book in Kindle goes by %, so I'm actually at 32% unsure what exact page that is.

However, this is an amazing book thus far, I'm really learning a lot and am fast becoming a fan of James Scott Bell's works. He uses the 3 Act Structure in this book and explains all the steps along the way.

A really wonderful writing craft resource. He focuses on the 3 act structure and really breaks it down with examples from well known bestsellers.

This book is filled with a lot of wonderful information. He debunks many of the crash diets out there, like Atkins, Mediterranean, and many others. His main point is eating whole foods and plant foods. Now, for my gastroparesis this is hard. however, I'm going to try to make some smoothies and see how I feel. But a great book for anyone out there wanting to become more healthy!

Thus far this is an amazing book. I've read and studied so many diets through the years and a lot of them are just crash diets and so very unhealthy, including the Standard American Diet (SAD). This diet focuses on real nutrition, not it's not a raw diet, it focuses on real nutrition. As a gastroparesis sufferer, this will help a lot.

This book just keeps getting better. I really love diving back into the past and especially the poor folks as many historical books deal with the Ton and upper classes and rarely do we hear of or learn about the lives of the poor. I'd say this book is a lot like Catherine Cookson's tales. Well, off to read more! Highly recommend! Review coming soon!

Thus far this is a wonderful book with a lot of great information on not only the Keto lifestyle but also overall health. I'd highly recommend this book! My review is coming soon!

This book is getting even better. It took quite an amazing turn and I'm curious to see where this leads!

Oh, my goodness is this tale amazing! Come into the ghetto and the streets of the poor from Ireland back in 1925. Here we meet some amazing characters, including Ivy who has just lost her father "her da" to death and she's left to fend for herself. Such an amazing tale, thus far and I can't wait to read more!

Surprisingly, a lot of wonderful advice in this book. I'd highly recommend this! I'm hoping to finish this up today or tomorrow, will be posting a review soon! Happy Reading, friends!

An excellent book thus far, I've been selling on eBay since 2001 but eBay has changed somewhat and we can always learn new things and/or improve upon our skills, so this is a great resource for new eBayers and vets.

Started reading this yesterday, got it on sale and I do enjoy a good true crime book. This is a case I have not heard of and thus far it's quite an icky case, but I greatly enjoy all of the police detail involved. The story is told by the main detective on the case. Lt. Ray Biondi, and he is quite a story-teller I must say!

Amazing book, thus far! I love how the author is taking liberties to put the H and h in a precarious situation that would not have been historically accurate! I love when authors stretch the imagination and go a touch outside of history; just so long as certain elements such as dress, houses, dates, etc., remain true to the time-period and events of the day. Looking forward to finishing this soon!

Finishing this up today on my break. Review coming soon!

A very thrilling psychological thriller! One can't help but feel the pain the characters are going through!

OMG, her books are amazzzing! Love this so much!

This is getting very good!

This is getting very good!

Loving this tale thus far! I'm taking a break from my Christmas novels, due to some reviews I'm working on. This book is for review and thus far is really great! Love that the H and h are authors!

Loving this tale thus far!

Off to a wonderful start! I can't wait to see where this tale is going! I already love both the H and h in this book, so want to see them together, but the journey there will be a challenging one!

Loving this tale!

Love where this is going! Interesting to see how the H gets out of his sticky predicament!
