From J.V. Hart
“As a professional writer, I wake up with the same fears you do, i.e., staring at a blank page, struggling with the things that plague all writer’s: structure, pace, dialogue, characters that won’t behave, scenes that go on forever, writer’s block… The HartChart was developed as a diagnostic tool to help you survive these constant ordeals. I guarantee, when you use these story mapping tools, you will never face a blank page again.”
