I had a few writing problems I couldn't shake, no matter how many classes I took. Hearing these practical instructions and examples made the solutions sink in. For any writer having problems with plot, or characterization, or viewpoint, or arresting openers - you need this.

I loved the book (Write Publish & Market Your Book), but these audio tapes gave me hands-on practice with plotting, characterization, viewpoint,openings, etc. -- it was like having a workshop in a box. An absolutely great help to my writing career.

These tapes were enjoyable to listen to on my daily walks. It was like having the author (Patrika) walking beside me, discussing the "how to's". When I finished my walks, I'd set about putting the ideas into practice.
