(I had sold a screenplay previously (co-writeen) which was butchered by Lifetime). I was fortunate to get interest from my first choice agent on my YA novel and as I await her notes I wanted to begin another one that I have been thinking about for a while. I wonder if you teach any classes in the LA area in which one can actually develope a book using your method? I am nowhere near an outline on this one. Just ideas shooting into the air a nd crashing into each other. I am a Sid Fields fan and find that structure is what I hate and need most. If you do not teach a class here do you have a course in which you bat ideas around and help an author find their architecture.? I also seem to be one of those people who loves reading about writing but the more I read the more blocked and overwhelmed I get. Thanks for your site...your thinking is clear, your writing informative and amusing and right on the money.
