The New Year
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
What a great time to set up some writing goals for yourself. Think about where you would like to be in 5 years (as far as your wriitng career)
What would like to have accomplished?
How many books written?
How many courses taken?
How many published books?
Writing goals down is the first step toward making them real. Ask any successful person and they will tell you, once they wrote their goals down on paper, things really started to happen for them. You have to know where you want to go before you can get there.
Now break these 5 year goals down -
what do you need to accomplish in year 4 to get there?
year 3?
year 2?
and most importantly this year?
Take some time to figure this out and write it down... Let us know how it goes.
I have several egroups in the works to help you write quickly. See www.CharactersJourney.com for links (you may need to reload the page)
Best of Luck!

I like to say" Happy New Year to you!" I just pulled out my check book a my not-so-local Barnes & Noble book store and bought your book: "Story Structure Architect", in hope it will structure me with my screenwriting issues.
I admit, I have some fantasti ideas, and have been shot down by my peers in many occassions - merely because of structure in creative writing. But I hope you can advise me, if your book is an excellent tool as it seems for my style of writing?
I too have a blog, it's:http://alinproduction.blogspot.com , and feel free to stop by and tell me your thoughts, if you can help me or not?
Victoria, bought Story Structure Architect awhile ago, loved it! Just bought 45 Master Characters. Fantastic.
I'm a film critic, was the NY Critic for Ain't It Cool News from 2004-06.
So: are there more archetypes, or is this it? Are new archetypes unearthed all the time? How do people discover them?
I was reading the ones about women, realized that Father's Daughter was my last girlfriend, Mystic was the one before that and my best friend Cassie is a Maiden--wild how quickly you recognize your friends in these things.
Best,

I still believe plot construction is the very best avenue to character development.
How will they act? React? This profiles them better than anything else.
