AND THE AUTHOR SAID . . .

“Start with character. Choose the person you want. When you've chosen him, ask yourself these questions:

1. What does this person want?
2. What prevents him from getting it?
3. What does he do about this obstacle?
4. What are the results of what he does?
5. What showdown does all this lead to?
6. Does he get what he wants, finally, or does he not?
7. Now—exactly what has I said?

I guarantee this recipe.” --Eloise Jarvis McGraw
