Larry Brooks Is Deconstructing The Help

by Shane Arthur on May 20, 2011

Hey all. Just seeing if any of you wanted to do a story deconstruction of the book The Help with Larry Brooks of storyfix.com. I’ve done these deconstructions in the past and I feel they are great exercises for improving our writing.

If you’re interested, head over to Storyfix.com and read the details. It’s fun.

@Mitchell: I’m so glad you’re getting into Larry’s method. I believe once you do, nothing will stop you from cranking out publishable material. (It’s already outstanding, but now you’ll know what to avoid so the editors pass your book ideas on to the next level.)

Shane, right now it feels a bit like chemistry class: the formula is there, I just have to remember how to mix all the ingredients properly.
