Khailah D.
Definitely a great workbook for beginner writers. Characters are everything to a story, if you don't get them right your stories going to be completely off, then you're stuck with writer's block. If you know your characters (who they are, where they're going) you know your story. That's when the magic happens.

Gerald's classes and handouts have made a great difference in my writing. I'm working on my second book and his teaching has focused my writing and streamlined my character descriptions and their actions in the story. And I'm working on turning my first novel into a screenplay! You rock, Gerald! Thank you. Raven Raye
