April 28, 2009: Even though writing a book in a month isn't realistic for me, I found the layout used to structure a book from beginning to end helpful. I made copies of the pages and expanded them out to 8 1/2 x 11 size since the size of the book is somewhat smaller than I care for. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to outline their story from beginning to end. Too often stories abound within oneself with no beginning, middle, or end. Ms. Scmidt's book was perfect for pushing me to formulate a story line from beginning to end.

March 29, 2008: The author condenses so many widely taught lessons into a few chapters of digestable information. Things I've studied for years seems to gel when I read this book. There is also a great online group that acts as a support group. I'm so glad I bought my copy. A keeper for sure.
