An amazing guideline for writers!!
I really took my time with this book and treated it as a workshop studying each aspect in detail. Jessica Brody has put in so much time into the research and deserves plenty of credit for being able to put it in a format that could help writers, both new and old, to break down the creative process better and with a little more ease and improve on a whole as writers.

The twice Formula
This is one audio book that needs to be listened to twice. At least the first four chapters. Alternatively, one may want to first listen and then read the book. Quite a helpful book. Resets your mind and gives it a focus.

great inputs
as a budding novelist, it helps me a lot to break down every story into the 15 beats and then structure my plot accordingly.
