  • Good step by step method for creating character, setting, story.

    The content of the book, yes. This pdf, absolutely not. I ordered a pdf of this book. Horrible. All the tops of the pages were cut off. Couldn't read what was close to the spine. The scan looked like the 10th iteration...all pixelated. I can't afford a real copy so this will have to do...but I will only be able to get through this abysmal pdf with great effort.
