It's 80 pages long. I think I might've rewritten every other chapter in the whole darn book.

It's good to have as a reference in the back of your mind while writing.Kristin Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215445794120087435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245520662729620947.post-58379889049360260362011-01-23T02:20:53.804-08:002011-01-23T02:20:53.804-08:00Excellent advice :) I prefer to use the three act ...Excellent advice :) I prefer to use the three act structure to help me along :) Though the hero's journey is a damn good way of doing things too.

I just rewrote an entire chapter because it wasn't right. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313619484424363895noreply@blogger.com
