Excellent fiction writing resource
This is a great instructional DVD by a bestselling author in a workshop setting. He discusses the creative mindset of writing fiction and also provides the processes to help you organize and begin your writing project. Excellent resource for writers trying to learn story structure. Well worth the small investment in cost! I wish he had more DVDs available.

Great stuff here
This is a great book for the beginner advanced novelist. Well written, it covers the basics with an emphasis on outlining as a tool and not a crutch.

I really enjoyed this course, it is a seminar-like presentation. I have read many books on writing but this DVD has been the most effective so far, I highly recommend it to those new to writing fiction.

Next Best thing to being there.
The version of this that I consumed was a DVD. It was the best education I could ever ask for on becoming an author. It also spurred me to take William Bernhardt's in person workshop, when he presented it in Hawaii. Not only is Berhardt a wonderful writer with great breadth and depth, but he is also a fantastic teacher. I encourage anyone interested in writing to get this DVD, watch it once, watch it again (to take notes), and watch it again to pick up everything you missed the first two times.
