Review:The author describes India as profound and profane. That pretty much sums up her book as well. Maybe Disney Land with the whiff and splat of raw sewerage would be another summation of her india. She thoroughly investigates every single "ism" and geographic location on the sub continent. Calcutta is about the only place she doesn't visit. The book is thoroughly educational from a cultural, religious, and geographic stand point. In reading up on India for a coming visit she is one of the best... Read more

Review:Fabulous book! The structure is clear and the writing is witty. I love the fact that there are matching templates available for download.

I'd recommend buying the digital version since there are embedded links that don't work well if you're reading the hard copy. Read more

Review:We've heard all the lies before, but after reading this book you will be able to match what you are hearing with the patterns they mention. It will be harder for someone to deceive you precisely because lies fit into patterns, which for some reason liars all use. Read more

Review:Sensing my frustration with the book that wasn't getting written, a friend wrote the words 'Al Watt. 90 Day Novel' on the back of her business card and gave it to me with an emphatic, "Check it out." One of Al's workshops began the following week, and the next thing I knew I was writing the book I'd put off for over a year.
Part of Al Watt's gift is his ability to articulate the writing process from a non-analytical point of view. Much has been written about writing, but with few exception... Read more

Review:Surprising, given the author's credentials, this felt like a collection of blog posts reformatted for a book and seems very much in need of an editor, or maybe just better typesetting? What exactly keeps this book from being readable is eluding me, but it makes my eyes cross themselves. Maybe a tighter, revised edition could make for a great resource; as it is, I had trouble staying engaged and felt much of the information was tired or too general, recycled from a thousand other craft-centric, ...

Review:I had so many questions concerning character driven outlines and Libbie Hawker cleared it up for me totally.
Her Story Core is Dwight V. Swain's scene points of goal, conflict, disaster which I was glad to see and familiar with and Hawker's
end part on Pacing was outstanding. Libbie Hawker is a good teacher. I highly recommend this book and look forward to de-pantzing. Read more
