Books About Writing


The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler

Story Engineering: Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing by Larry Brooks
This one I've just started reading so will quickly note the 6 points and then come back to it later. I've seen little bits of his teachings (snatches from writers' conferences when I couldn't see the whole talk) - quite convincing, organized and helpful, the little that I grasped. I hope this book will fill in the gaps.
