This book got me excited about writing again. The author uses plenty of examples, but unlike other books I have read, he explained them in a way so that you really understand what is happening. The "Write from the middle"concept is a winner. I have already seen a few screenplays that back this up since reading it. I would highly recommend this short and effective book for anyone who writes and loves to write.

This book is NOT for kids. I have to read it for my class and it is inappropriate, and gross. I think James Scott Bell needs to work on his writing himself. He uses cuss words, talks about completely inappropriate books, and I am appalled at the making of this book. I do NOT suggest that you read it.
