The story is a complex animal, but the published fiction writers I know discover their stories mostly through intuition and experience. Even the outliners do their outlines intuitively. Sadly I'm not that talented! I wanted to establish some good, practical, objective direction that a newbie could follow to allow him to develop something reasonable. I'm betting your boy has some awesome ideas -- kids at that age often do. Good luck to him!Amy Deardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334990399511204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-13847952718864954602011-08-03T18:55:52.309-07:002011-08-03T18:55:52.309-07:00While I'm not aspiring to be a published autho...While I'm not aspiring to be a published author, I think this book would help me where I am with my autistic son. He's very verbal, but has a hard time getting a story from his head to paper. I'm hoping I can use this book to help him become a better writer at school.Coolestmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742283544000495664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-13036942271586883482011-08-03T15:45:11.004-07:002011-08-03T15:45:11.004-07:00Hi Patricia, I'm hoping your writing is going ...Hi Patricia, I'm hoping your writing is going better than that! Psyching yourself up to write when it doesn't seem to be working is discouraging -- you THINK this is what God has called you to do, but you can't help wondering... I'm so hoping this book will encourage someone to get through these rough patches. <br /><br />Amber, I simply tried to organize a process of how one might build a story, concentrating on one aspect at a time. There are a million ways to put together a story, although in my opinion SOTP (seat of the pants) is the pits for difficulty and frustration. <br /><br />Sarah, thanks for stopping by!

I'm always thinking this has to be a better way. The idea of a template and algorithm speaks to my analytic engineering side. (Waving to your engineering study, Amy.)<br /><br />Please count me in for this one. <br /><br />pwriter1[at]yahoo[dot]comPatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-62305685994969392652011-08-03T05:24:27.882-07:002011-08-03T05:24:27.882-07:00Hi Paula, I'm excited about the template algor...Hi Paula, I'm excited about the template algorithm because it describes parts and themes of story that I haven't seen articulated anywhere else. Although it's me saying it, this algorithm really works. My students have developed amazing stories. The template frees writing energy to allow creativity to blossom since it takes care of the established structural story elements -- The writer doesn't have to keep discovering these through tactile exploration.<br /><br />Overseas shipping is OK, so definitely consider yourself part of the draw :-)Amy Deardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334990399511204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-49109008717225654732011-08-03T01:39:30.792-07:002011-08-03T01:39:30.792-07:00I love this sort of book, and this one sounds part...I love this sort of book, and this one sounds particularly fascinating with its scientific insights.
