Title: BS - Save your money!
Product review: In my opinion, this is a ridiculous method of writing. It is highly constrictive and limiting.What's even worse is the extent to which Columbia College's Fiction Writing Department emphasizes this style. Students are required to purchase this book (interestingly enough, Schultz was...maybe still is a long time teacher at Columbia and acting chair).My advice is to firstly.....avoid the fiction writing department at Columbia College Chicago....it's only through their "babying & crying" that they have even been allowed to be a separate entity. The English department is much more prestigious. Just look at the amount of published work represented in each department. Many of the teachers in the fiction writing department are barely 25.Secondly, Schultz and his "story workshop method" are crippling to young writers.
