"I am often asked where I get my ideas from, and I always reply that creativity can be learned. Which brings me to Theron Christensen's book Plotting Astonishment. In this book, Theron delivers an excellent roadmap to creativity. He has done all the heavy lifting for you and leads you towards creating your own original magic with clear and concise insights, exercises, key concepts, and real world examples. I have been creating magic for fifty years and wish I had this book when I first started. It would have saved me a whole lot of time. It puts into words what I learned the hard way."
