The Emotional Craft of Fiction: How to Write with Emotional Power, Develop Achingly Real Characters, Move Your Readers, and Create Riveting Moral Stakes by Donald Maass

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.
"Romance and women's fiction wallowed in feelings but frequently left me feeling indifferent."

"Writers of women's fiction are caught in the middle. Given this story type and its audience, you'd think this wouldn't be much of an issue."

"Quick knows the trick of making an mentally ill protagonist enjoyable to read about: Make him funny."
