"I don't buy many writing craft books because I often find them too general or off-point from my issues. But from the get-go I could see this one was going to speak to me. The concepts were easy to grasp, and the exercises helped me relate them to my characters and storyline. It definitely strengthened my work-in-progress, and I'm sure I'll be referring back to it for future projects." - Author Tina Ferraro

"Gable's book, while addressed to writers, has value to readers as well because it shows how to find deeper meaning in even the most entertaining types of fiction. Gable touches on the basics of plotting, character development, setting, conflict and theme through the filter of life mottos of characters in a way that makes this book relevant for both beginning and experienced writers. Anything that makes you think has to be good, right? (That's my motto!)" KatyDoesWrite
