Hot Spot Grid roll

On a roll now--up at 4:00 a.m. updating character files with photos of characters' typical gestures/stances plus a HotSpotGrid (copyright, mine--how do I get the copyright symbol from my keyboard?) plot outline to sharpen up the flow of the story, following Joseph Campbell's structure, similar to those offered in How to Write Damn Good Fiction Using the Power of Myth by James N. Frey and The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers, by Christopher Vogler. Will try out Lord Raglan's mythic structure for fun and comparison, too.

As Tom Robbins says in Even Cowgirls... WOW, WAHOO, WHOOPEE, WHY NOT, AND WHEW!

  3. June, from MS Word at the top click "Insert" and then click Symbol. Make sure the cursor is where you want the copy write symbol. Highlight the symbol, click Insert and then close.
    Best

  5. Hi June,
    Nice style and rhythm of writing at the dark hours of day. It looks like a compiled to-do list, which seems efficient for recording thoughts.
