Story Engineering Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing

Story Engineering Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing

As a writer of about…fifteen years, I find it hard to grasp detailing, emotion, steady plot development and character development; this book is amazing, and helps you to focus on each element of the story one piece at a time, breaking away elements like a 3-D puzzle exploits detail-that’s what it’s all about, detail and keeping in character with a steady stream. This book has helped me to understand that and slow down the scene in my head, being able to work with it in slow motion. This book is one of the best written so far out there that I read, that I’m confident that someday I’ll be able to publish my own stories. I love how he is able to break it down and go step by step to help the writer understand the complete control of their own imagination as well as helping to sharpen their writing skills! I definitely recommend this book highly to people who are writers and are looking to develop more sharpened stories! Or even just someone who loves to write and aren’t wanting to make it their financial career goal; either or works!

Live Loved Experiencing God's Presence in Everyday Life By Max Lucado

Live Loved Experiencing God's Presence in Everyday Life
By Max Lucado

A book that was enjoyable and peaceful to read at the same time. In human nature we all go through trying times, this book has never a shortage of topics. Facing your fears - believing in God and finding love through life. Accepting the Lord through belief is an amazing wake up , both spiritual and physical. Getting to know God’s love really shines out through this book and I recommend it strongly for someone having doubts or just trying to find their path. For new believers it sets up a prayer to grow stronger with their new found faith. It also has advanced for long time believers. The book really does help view life from a new perspective, one of self peace and positivism. With such a negative world we live in, we have to find peace somewhere and it’s here in this book.

The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Over 600 Secrets of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom

The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Over 600 Secrets of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom

The parks are truly magical, I’ve been to Disney dozens of times and only noticed a few things on this list, it’s the perfect guide and planner for your next trip to Disney. At the beginning of the book it talks about messages and landscaping, slowly transitioning into the unique sets of the shops and rides. I recommend this book highly for your next trip as it comes in handy. The whole guide book was an interesting read-not at all boring. That’s why Disney is such a magical park, because of the secrets that surround it. Each character, building and sight has it’s own unique and wonderful structure. The book really dissects the park and walks you through a magical experience you won’t soon forget! Read this book before going and spot as many secrets in the park as you can, it could be a fun game-or read and really get a feel for the magic behind what Walt Disney created. You won’t want to put this book down once you start reading!
