Showing and Telling Through the Five Senses with Christie Wright Wild

Whether you've already written your entire manuscript, or you haven't even started yet, you'll be able to define the 5 main plot points you need to begin writing. Then you can start to fill in the gaps. Ultimately, this will help you to craft a stellar synopsis, as well.
