I joined a few months ago but sorry to say I haven't followed along on this round of exercises. If anyone's interested it's writingthebreakoutnovelworkshop@yahoogroups.com I bought both the book and workbook, love the workbook but not the book, not sure why. Maass often does workshops around the country, mostly connected with romance writer groups. He held one here in Minneapolis a few years ago. I was tempted but chickened out because I'd heard he doesn't hold back on what he thinks about your work and lots of folks leave in tears. On the other hand if he does like your work, represents you, the sky's the limit... the bottom line is he's a top notch agent"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468140560756430446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421642745880281653.post-30293771439084420492009-11-21T20:51:35.857+00:002009-11-21T20:51:35.857+00:00I agree, this is a first class book, full of good ...I agree, this is a first class book, full of good advice.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421642745880281653.post-8513291358845293812009-11-20T12:51:35.748+00:002009-11-20T12:51:35.748+00:00Some good advice there, Evan, from Maass.

Your review reminded me to grab it off the shelf and try it out. <br /><br />I met Maass a few years ago at our local writers conference and attended a couple of his workshops. The man is relentless. <i>Conflict on every page, in every sentence, and if possible in every word. What is the one thing your hero cannot live without?</i> he asks. <i>Find out, and take it away from him!</i>Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421642745880281653.post-66608201223032397992009-11-19T16:03:35.821+00:002009-11-19T16:03:35.821+00:00Info I can use.
