Introduction:
Structured story plots have been a problem for me in the past, but I never knew what to do about it, so I just kept plugging along. Then I came across this book and will not have that problem any more (as long as I follow the tips I read about).
Clarity: 1/1
K.M. Weiland always does a great job explaining things clearly and concisely. This book is no exception.
Usability: 1/1
I’ve already started using it. I started using the tips the day I started reading it, actually. I had just started outlining a new book and this book helped me outline it in a way that followed the proper story structure. Now I’m even more excited than before to start writing!
Readability: 1/1
K.M. Weiland started out with a summary of each point in the story structure and then had a few chapters that had more detail about each act. This made the book very readable as terms were explained first and then described later.
Overall writing quality: 1/1
The writing quality was great! I didn’t find any typos and each word was obviously chosen with care.
Un-put-down-ability: 1/1
After reading half of the first chapter, I ended up setting the book aside for about a week due to busyness and illness, but when I picked it up again, I couldn’t put it down.
Conclusion: 5/5
Even if you think you know how to structure your story, I think this is a must-read for every writer. It’s short, easy to read, and you might just pick up a tip or two or ten. What’s a little over an hour out of your day if it helps make you a better writer?

I found this book to be very helpful too. 🙂
That’s great!
When I first read this book, I was in shock! I couldn’t believe I’d been missing so much for so long! 😀
No kidding!
Did you find any language in it? Language as in swear words or borderline slang. Do you think it is appropriate for all ages?
There was no language and no borderline slang. I do believe it is appropriate for all ages, though really young children wouldn’t understand it. 🙂
