I learned the basics in high school literature and never really branched out from there. But I suppose anyone who reads a book and enjoys it has studied structure to some degree. And of course the more you read, the more you study. I'm a big believer in balancing the study of fiction by reading and analyzing it personally along with academic analysis/study. I'll have to look into Aristotle's work on structure.

I think it's necessary to add the importance of story structure, stressing the need for beginning writers to familiarize themselves with the different constructions and how to apply them to their own plots (Aristotle is a good start).Leigh M.

And those with Kindles who pre-order can have it sent directly to their Kindle when it is ready by adding shiningincrimson@gmail.com to their list of incoming email addresses in their Kindle Personal Documents settings and sending me an email at the same address requesting this option and including your kindle's email address. And if you have any trouble setting up your Kindle to receive documents from me, just go to the following website for instructions on how to set this up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_200767340_approve?nodeId=200767340#approvefromrobertswilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305028306537384037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776550013885964898.post-1474746597414629992013-01-18T15:04:49.599-08:002013-01-18T15:04:49.599-08:00Will it be available on Amazon April 23rd when it ...Will it be available on Amazon April 23rd when it releases?
