In reply to dholcomb1. Hi Denise, Thanks! I really believe that with the purpose in hand you’re driving a story that matters and compels itself. This process is one sheet of paper and so straightforward. Thanks for your comment!

What an interesting process for figuring out how to plot the raison d'etre of the book.

Thanks, Laura, for all the insights! It is super helpful to have templates to follow. Especially when constructing a story that you want to work on many levels. I hope to hear more from you in future posts.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Thank you so much for your comment!! I'll let you know a couple of things. One is that many people in the class lurk and learn from following the progress of those who participate. The class is conducted on a group email, so that everyone can benefit from my responses. And then you have all the lesson material to go over at your own pace whenever you want. And if you have questions about the process during the class, then I'm there to answer and guide you. If taking the class just isn't in the cards right now, you can also get a packet of the lessons on my website. All the material is there in each packet, you're just not getting the one on one brainstorming of course. If you'd like more information, just let me know.

In reply to Laurie Schnebly Campbell. I can hardly wait! I love the new movie I'm analyzing, but the best part is working with the writers on their stories. It's awesome to see the stories and characters come to life.
