THJ really hasnt fazed me--pretty fascinating. It's been very insightful, whereas Deb Dixon's GMC workshop nearly put me in a wheelchair LOL. <br />Amazing how tough those three questions PBW posted are to answer. In Red's case it's easy. He's a husband, he wants his estranged family to leave him alone, send his wife and child to Bluebonnet *ggg*<br />But with Steph it's harder. Maybe cause SHE doesn't know who she is. So I guess the answer is: I'm adopted, I want to know where I come from, make my birth mother reject me. Or I'm a married woman, I DON'T want children, make my husband give me an ultimatum. Both work.Amie Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145328243563702260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1105894159774699862005-01-16T11:49:00.000-05:002005-01-16T11:49:00.000-05:00LOL, on the phone greeting, Shannon.

Or, formally, fill out a chart. If I'm keeping notes to myself, or a chart to keep time lines clear/straight, fine. That's informal. <br /><br />Cece, one of them (GMC) is good enough for me going in. I find that I'll add the other two subconciously. But actively thinking about it as a write the first draft is a 'brain shutting down' experience. But I do need to have a handle on at least one of those elements, or my scene will lack focus, or the pacing will be off, or something. <br /><br />But aren't you the one reading Hero's Journey? I've skimmed through that book twice, and even took a workshop on it. ::shudder:: Not saying there isn't good things there, but I rather use it as an analysing tool *after* the fact, or the ol' noggin does that brain siezure thing, I find sooo annoying. <br /><br />Hey, Marjorie!
