Review: A Fun, Inspirational Tool for Story Generation - The Save the Cat Beat Sheet Workbook is my new favorite tool for brainstorming and story generation! I’ve read both Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat and Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat Writes a Novel, and this workbook is the perfect companion. Where the books assume the writer has an idea already, this interactive workbook starts from scratch by examining your emotions, what gets your heart pounding, and more. It’s perfect for those new to the STC method. I’d suggest working through the idea generation exercises in this workbook first, before reading the books, because it encourages play and helps your imagination run wild. My favorite exercise was gluing a photo to the page and creating plots in different movie genres like comedy, science fiction, inspirational, and horror. I wrote several variations of my initial story idea and love them all! The Choose Your Own Adventure section was fun, and it is no surprise to me, since I mostly write creative nonfiction and memoir, that I’m an Inside Out writer. Even though I’ve completed two book-length beat sheets in the past, this workbook was still full of revelations. Jamie Nash’s Beat Sheet Workbook is a godsend for writers like me who’ve fallen into a rut of taking their writing too seriously. This was the book I needed to help me break through the blocks that have been holding me back and blast back into my creative side. Review: Playful but it really works - This at first seemed a bit childish but the steps breakdown brainstorming to get to the heart of your theme and what you really want to write. Enjoyable, fun and yet a serious structuring and plotting guide. Would buy another for my next book. IF I finish the actual writing of this one!

Playful but it really works
This at first seemed a bit childish but the steps breakdown brainstorming to get to the heart of your theme and what you really want to write. Enjoyable, fun and yet a serious structuring and plotting guide. Would buy another for my next book. IF I finish the actual writing of this one!

A bit of fun
This is a great planner to get your mind moving but, so far, it's just been a bit of fun

For the aspiring writer
My daughter, a fledgling writer, asked for this book. It was recommended to her; she did her research of it and was very happy to receive the book as a gift.
