And I'm a big fan of James N. Frey, read a few of his books when I started out. You might like to take a look at John Truby's Anatomy of Fiction too.Sandra Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619456126272467803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041114671058714018.post-72433730973925697932011-11-04T17:27:16.867+00:002011-11-04T17:27:16.867+00:00Good question.

The problem I'm having is finding the right direction for the premise to go... will they fight the love, or give in freely and find an outside force separating them, or will they not even see it right in front of their faces?
