A good job of showing the problems in action.

The examples tend to be somewhat on the exaggerated side, but they often do a good job of showing the problems in action.

Useful one

I found this entertaining and affirming, especially the middle section which covered the core subject, on "how to write" though that statement has some misdirection.

Like this audiobook

If you are a writer, or have ambitions to be one, and you haven’t formally studied creative writing or story structure, I highly recommend this audiobook. It’s definitely made me look at my own scenes with a more critical eye and helped me understand why some of them are falling flat. Five stars.

I used the audiobook as a voice book.

I used the audiobook as a voicebook. It was helpful in letting me know if a missed element necessary for a compelling romance was absent from my own stories.
