Here is what i've achieved tonight so far.
1. Wrote an outline for a story based on Voglers 12 point method. It has nothing to do with the Gnome thing i've been talking about up until now. It was fun to do. Seemed like a decent idea for a book. Don't know if i'll do anything more about it at this stage.
2. Wrote a fairly decent outline of who Emily could be. Pretty happy with that so far.
3. Made a few notes of some 'mentoring' i've received in my own life. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I think at the heart of this whole attempt to write a book is the dilemma that whilst I want to write one more than just about anything in the world, I don't really have any particular book yet that I want to write.
I'm not going to let that stop me though.
The biggest surprise for me is that i've really come to respect the way Vogler has broken this stuff down. A lot of what he says pops into your head and random times and really helps you to form ideas in your mind. Too many ideas. His method ain't gospel but it does get you thinking.
