Thanks! <br /><br />B, Thanks!<br /><br />Connie, Thanks for weighing in!<br /><br />Lauren, I've read Vogler's The Writer's Journey and have highlighted the hell out of it.<br /><br />Evelyn, Some do. Some don't. Try it and if it works for you, that's great. But it's not anything that's set in stone, you know?<br /><br />Susan, Go Jayhawks! I'm going to miss the game tonight--aaagh!--but for a great reason: meeting with a book club from Texas who's coming to Denver to have dinner with me!!!Carleen Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433203126527081458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-82180935763168554392011-03-25T10:54:52.366-04:002011-03-25T10:54:52.366-04:00Carleen, Malik Yoba's brother recommended the ...Carleen, Malik Yoba's brother recommended the Story to me years ago and I've followed its blueprint since.
