If you write popular fiction, this should be worth your while. In ~1.25 hours, Rusch treats the 7-point plot structure (this differs from Dan Wells' 7-point plot structure--also worth looking over), which goes back to Scott Meredith Agency. Algis Budrys came under fire for writing a book about this as being simplistic; however, Rusch makes a good point that you should write your story first, then analyze your work with this system.
If you're planning on taking a course with Dean Wesley Smith, you may find overlap in the Idea-to-Story workshop (review) and may not find it necessary, but Rusch does have her slant.
APB-SAL is a blog about education, science, science education, fiction, science fiction, literature, literary stories, poetry, and anything else that strikes the blogger's fancy. NOTE: This blog interrogates art. It rarely make moral proclamations. For that attend the church or politician of your choice. This blog concerns aesthetics, not propaganda. Consider this as interviews with books where the interviewer presents interviewees, so you get what you need to do your own thinking.
