I've heard great things about both, but chose to start with Gornick since, quite honestly, it's shorter and It takes me ages to read anything.<br /><br />I'm so glad to hear about the structures in the second book. Though none of these little blips are woven yet, I'm feeling much like you, that they will indeed come together and tell a complete story.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849650119285773009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-32370127852817462882010-03-21T23:04:00.897-07:002010-03-21T23:04:00.897-07:00Victoria,

I was using Your Life As Story for a bit--helped me map out some outlines, and is it Tristen Rainier? lays out some different structures that were fun to consider.<br /><br />Wish I could say it helped me plunk out my finished etc., but I am still wading along like you with all the disparate stories sitting at the fringe, waiting for me to have lived long enough to thread them together. I wish us both luck...I do, lately, for whatever reason, trust it'll fall into place.Tania Pryputniewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177520317393803035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-56389416806080255312010-03-21T11:19:20.986-07:002010-03-21T11:19:20.986-07:00Angela, as I mentioned on your blog, so glad I sto...Angela, as I mentioned on your blog, so glad I stopped by. Listened to Old Friend in the car yesterday and it really opened my eyes to a few things that have been bothering me--namely finding a structure.<br /><br />Sweepy, Thanks again for the award. It's very sweet of you. And you are right, it is becoming quite a journey.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849650119285773009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-27686501423696192832010-03-20T14:11:23.779-07:002010-03-20T14:11:23.779-07:00Good for you, Vicky.

The journey is just as important as the writing itself, IMHO.<br /><br />I have an award for you at my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-65010337408616636502010-03-19T12:43:39.995-07:002010-03-19T12:43:39.995-07:00Just this afternoon I saw Gornick's book on my...Just this afternoon I saw Gornick's book on my shelf and thought about taking it down for a reread.
