I LOVE that this was written in parable form! It made learning so enjoyable. I wish all writing books were like this. Not only did I get to learn about writing fiction, I was reading fiction, without all the cryptic deconstructing you have to do with a regular novel.

I looked at the snowflake method briefly before, but didn't really understand it, so I kind of passed it by. I've been writing for a while, but honestly have been unable to find a groove. I started out pantsing, but it's easy to become lost in the story or stuck or where to go next. Then I tried planning, but I easily fizzed out on that, mostly abandoning the outline as problems arose with the planned story. The snowflake method has blown my mind. It's like writing and planning all at once, with none of the time-wasting and none of the drudgery. After reading this book, I'm more enthused than ever to get back to writing, and even rewriting. I need to deconstruct some old stories and fix them, but I'm confident I will be snowflaking from here on out. It's just right. :D
