For writers who are interested in some highly recommended mechanics of book and scene construction, I have posted two recent blog entries:
1. Book Construction Using ‘Scene’ and ‘Sequel’ (macro level book structure);
2. Scene Construction using ‘Motivation Reaction Units’ (micro level scene structure).
Feel free to check out these techniques in my blog at www.booksbymaureen.com. I would be interested in hearing your opinions. Personally, I view them as helpful guidelines, rules of thumb, not Cast-In-Concrete-Commands-Which-Must-Be-Obeyed.
Then again, I tend to be a tad rebellious.
