Summary: A Must For All Fiction Writers
Comment: I've read a lot of books on writing and this book ranks with the best. She presents a straightforward and easy to understand approach to plotting anything from a short story to a novel. This book is an invaluable tool for planning a story from the grand opening scene to the blockbuster ending. Her explanations and instruction on set-pieces and harnessing melodrama are the best I've seen from any book on writing. If you are serious about writing then this must be on your bookshelf.

Summary: Brilliant for writers or RPG designers...honest!
Comment: I have been writing professionally now since the mid-1980s and this book is one of the most useful volumes I've ever owned. Not only is it of great help in writing fiction or prose, it is a wonderful assistant to anyone trying to work out plots for role-playing game adventures as well! Whenever I get writer's block, I simply reread this book and it's like magic. I have read many books on this subject and none of them even comes close to this one. The fact that it's a light, often funny, read only makes it more wonderful!

Summary: Not about Plot
Comment: I've read this book twice, the first time several years ago, and just recently when deciding if I needed to keep it. From the time I first read it, I've had a couple novels published. If this book had been named "Some Stuff About Writing," it would have been okay. But unfortunately, it does not address the subject of Plot in a organized fashion, and was not useful to me when I was trying to learn how to plot. As other reviewers have mentioned, the author's use of some terms is unique. If I went to a meeting of writers and started talking about The Rule of Three, I would receive strange looks. Some neat things in the book, but it does not live up to its title.
