I received a book in he mail today.

Story Structure Architect" A writer's Guide to building dramatci situations & compelling characters by Victoria Schmidt, Ph.D.


She has a doctorate so she must know what she is talking about..right? ;-)


I flipped through it and one example is from the Lord of the Rings, so this book can't be all that bad....I'll let you know what I think of it a bit later. Anyone read it yet?  Let me know if it is worth it.

Doesn't seem as cheesy as some writing books I've seen...

Quote of the day:

"We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true."

"the Lord of the Rings, so it can't be all bad...I'll let you know what I think of it a bit later. Anyone read it yet?  Let me know if it is worth it."   Wonderful, wonderful book -- but you should start with The Hobbit and read the books before you see the movies.

awesome quote of the day!!!

Oh I've read them all; and I've made it through the Simillirion (I don't even know if I spelled that right.) A very interesting book in it's own right, if a bit dry.

Heh I got that quote from my google hompage.  You can make a home page with various things on google now; easier to use then the old yahoo one...

Plus you can add links to stuff you want your self.

I think it has to have an RSS feed though.. I'm still looking into it.

Yeah I'm going to be on my new writing schedule at 12 here. I'm going to write four hours a day from 12 to 4...at first. I hope to move up to six then 8 as I get more ..diciplined.

With my work schedule I can actually do 8 hours a day and it not mess up anything.
