Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Breakout Novelist: Craft and Strategies for Career Fiction Writers in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The Breakout Novelist is a fantastic handbook that should be on every writer's desk. It should be marked up, highlighted, paper-clipped, and sticky-noted (if that's a word. Let's pretend it is). There is so much great advice and information in here it would take weeks and multiple readings to really get it all: but it's not meant to be read through from start to finish. It's a handbook, workbook, dictionary type tool.
There are many categories such as plot, theme, characters, chapters on voice and hyper-reality, protagonists vs. heroes, and information about what to do when you've got your manuscript done and "ready." There are exercises questions, prompts, and examples carefully explained and outlined. It's easy to read and understand and doesn't feel like an instruction manual: it's fun and enjoyable and interesting to read.
I wholeheartedly recommend any serious writer—just starting or multi-published—to grab a copy of The Breakout Novelist.

Kelly (279 KP) rated IMDb Movies & TV in Apps
Nov 22, 2018
Although the site includes data on the majority of tv and film programs that have been made/ shown, I primarily use it to find out more about the actors/ actresses.
Ratings of programmes and films are a good indication of the quality of what you are watching and at times have enticed me into watching a film that I may otherwise have ignored.
At times there has been information missing from the site (e.g. overviews for lesser known or new releases), which although understandable as a result of the size of the project, can be a little frustrating to the user who becomes reliant on having the information at hand. There are also a few user additions to overviews, which I have found can be more thorough than the IMDB ones, however a small number so have inaccuracies.
