The Book
Author and scriptwriter Alexander Astremsky offers a systematic approach to plot development. He suggests you stop "waiting for inspiration" and use Story-Flash step-by-step technology instead. He invites you to rev up "the engine of your imagination" so that you can come up with exciting stories and design them easily, professionally and without the "throes of creation"

The book includes such chapters as "Story Development," "Episode Plan," "Character Development," “How to Make the Story as Compelling as Possible,” “How to Develop a Great Comedy Plot,” etc. It includes over 50 various practical exercises, pictures and diagrams illustrating this step-by-step process.

This book also includes the Story-Flash Game, which you can play by yourself or with others. It is not just an interesting and entertaining game, it is designed to boost your imagination with inspiration and break down the barriers in your mind that prevent you from creating brilliant stories with ease.
The Story-Flash WORKBOOK is an excellent companion to this book
The steps of this workbook are part of the Story-Flash technology described by Alexander Astremsky in his book Story-Flash: Step-by-Step Technology of Plot Development. 

The workbook is meant to be used to develop the screenplays “on paper,” not in front of the screen. Take it with you to the park, on a business trip, use it on the plane or at the beach. It is also perfect for those times when you are tired from constantly looking at the screen.

The workbook will enable you to develop the plot with the help of the exact technology without having to consult this book every time. To use it, simply write down the IDEA and then build up your story from there, step-by-step. From the moment you wrote down the primary situation and created the protagonist and antagonist, you can move forward without any stops until your story is built from A to Z.
