How to Write a Freaking Amazing Story (Based on Brain Science) — Wired For Story by Lisa Cron
About Wired For Story
Lisa Cron, author of Story Genius (a book that changed my life), began her teaching-storywriting-through-books career with Wired for Story, a book on how to write a captivating story.
Using tips from neuroscience and her experience as a writing coach and teacher, Cron shows aspiring novelists what REALLY makes a great story (hint: it’s probably not what you think) 😉
Introduction
“Writers can change the way people think simply by giving them a glimpse of life through their character’s eyes.” — Lisa Cron

Good writing is easy to read…but hard to WRITE.
