I actually like books that aren't about conflict after conflict. Guess I need to get with the program more. Food for thought. I actually like books that aren’t about conflict after conflict.

This seems to be a corollary to the concept Donald Maas espouses--be certain there's conflict on every page. I'm off to purchase (and, more importantly, study) McKee's book. And I'd like to know when yours is available. Ray,

It's one of the few I don't have yet. Writers rave over it still, even though it's 10 years old. Great post as usual, Ray. I’ve gotta get this book. It’s one of the few I don’t have yet.

Good post Ray. In their blind quest to be original a lot of writers reject McKee, which to me is sad because most of what he suggests will only make a story better.
