Steal This Plot: A Writer's Guide to Story Structure and Plagiarism

Steal This Plot: A Writer's Guide to Story Structure and Plagiarism - William Noble Bought this one because it shows how to move from a Greek myth to a modern story. Mere hours after reading, I am already charting things out based on motivators and spicers, so it's definitely been of use to me. Story structure, plotting, and beats are subjects that I feel that I can always use a good refresher on.

On the downside, a lot of the examples become tedious and many are dated. The part on plagiarism really wasn't of any interest to me, which is why I give it 3 instead of 4 stars.

Still there's a lot of sound advice without any of the gimmicks one often finds in books on plot, and it's only $2.99 on Kindle.
