This craft book changed the way I read, imagine, and write stories. It’s not just a book of tips; it’s more like a course you take, learn from, and apply in your own unique way. It doesn’t tell you what to do. Instead, it shows you how the great writers of the past did it and how you can draw inspiration from their genius.
