Title: Good Structural Concepts
Review: Just getting down the concept of Scene-Sequel makes this book worth the price many times over. It reminds me of the linked-list concept in computer science. It might seem overly formulaic until you are shown that the parts, once identified, do not have to be in sequence, do not have to be in order from scene to scene, and can even be ellipsed when understood or otherwise inferred. The concept of adjusting pace by modifying the balance of scene and sequel is brilliant. No aspiring novelist should start his first novel (or begin revision of the first-draft at least) without reading this book.
