This Pick a Number - Start a Story is the first in a series of 10 books dedicated to assisting the aspiring writer with telling their individual stories. The first book, Start a Story, is a general overview of each component and how to use it to pull your story into an organized outline. Each book uses over 500 movies and TV shows to illustrate the process. There is space for each writer to add notes or to play around with different ideas for his or her own story in each section of the book.
