While most people are purchasing this book for use on the stage, as a full-time author I've found this to be a useful gem of a book. Sometimes writers get stuck in a rut when they're cranking out new stories. This book gives some excellent alternative ideas to breath new life into characters on a page. It's easy to cross-reference actions and come up with other methods to get your characters into gear and realistically moving/reacting.This makes an excellent reference for the actor, the screenwriter, and the novel author.
