I don’t have an e-reader yet. I never miss Story Fix and take notes. I write romantic suspense novels with a touch of paranormal and have two manuscripts I’m working on. The third I put away for awhile. Did NaNo for fun. I have so much to learn to become a better writer. You are right, writing is no profession for the faint-hearted or easily discouraged. My forehead is permanently red. I tried in vain to find paperback or hard cover copies of Story Structure…. and 101 Slightly Unpredictable…with no success. Are they only available in e book format?
