Just want to thank whoever recommended this a few months back. There was a surprising amount of good, actionable advice in it, at least compared to other "books on writing". There was almost too much, I might need to go back over some of the chapters.

It actually wasn't all that formulaic, other than the general three act structure stuff. It was more about making sure things actually happen in scenes, and that characters are doing things. All pretty basic stuff, but covered comprehensively (and all stuff I needed to hear because my writing is shit).
