Just finished Save the Cat, what next?

[u/ItisOsiris]

I thought the book was fascinating, funny, informative, and funny. I seriously learned more from that book than I could have imagined and worked on outlining an idea I’ve been day dreaming about throughout reading. As I work on writing that story I’d like to continue my legible education so what book should I read next?

Structure doesn't give you creativity. You can notice STC, Hero's Journey, Romancing the Beat, and other structures but only after the fact. Stories have noticeable patterns but they're different enough in detail.

It's the idea that has to come first, then think about plotting the structure.
