I received the book that I ordered last week! After looking through it, I realize what a treasure trove of information I have, and will use it to the best of my ability! The book I'd ordered, The Writer's Journey, by Christopher Vogler, is worth every penny I spent!
Aside from my new book, I have made a decision on what to do with my characters at the beginning of my story (different from what I already had decided earlier, which was to passively introduce them to the Lord of the castle on the hill). I will now have the two heroines meet the esteemed Lord in a scene inside and outside of the town the girls dwell in. At first I had wanted to only briefly show the Man's existence (doesn't have a name yet, give me any ideas you can think of and I'll consider), but I think that showing more of his character would draw readers in, but thats only speculation for now. I'll use the time I have outside of class to continue with my own personal critique, but this Wednesday evening I'll be attending the writer's group for TCC students from 6 - 7. My work will face outside criticisms, will it survive? I'll let you know this Thurs.
