Lose yourself in it and you will emerge days later, dusty, bloody and gasping for air, your head ringing with phrases like “The Negation of the Negation” and “Extra-personal conflict”. Don’t enter without a distress flare and your eight favourite records. I thought: “finally, after all these years, I get it – I see why I’ve never managed to plot effectively.” I read it and, like Keats on first looking into Chapman’s Homer, the scales fell from my eyes. A colleague lent it to me after a conversation about the design of team exercises. Story is the book which made me want to write fiction again after ten years in the world of business writing. Both are dealing, one way or another, with the Three Act Structure each finds a very different way into it. They are both written by opinionated and provocative individuals, fiery pulpit preachers of The One True Way. Both, in their way, are shining examples of “what oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed.” “But which is better?” you can’t help asking. Like good scripts, they are a mix of the original and the familiar. I can’t claim to have read every book on screenwriting (I don’t suffer from procrastination quite that badly) but I’ve done my fair share, and these two hardy perennials are the books I return to most often when I’m stuck or needing a compass to navigate through a rewrite.

My First Little House Collections of Winter Tales After losing our two large maple trees in the Derecho a couple of summers ago, we realized how much we missed their protection from wind and the shade they provided from the summer sun. Without trees, we wouldn’t have birds or shade or a way to keep our air clean. Would it be possible to live without trees? It would not! Trees provide us years of protection and we need to provide them protection as well. They even provided the paper for this book. Trees are a home for many animals including numerous types of birds, but they also provide a recreation space for kids to swing from and cats to climb as well as provide the wood for bats to swing. We get the wood for our homes and our furniture from trees. We depend on trees to provide us with apples, nuts, and even chocolate, but they also provide bark and leaves for animals. Trees provide food, comfort, and protection for humans and animals. Reading like a storybook, but full of facts and realistic illustrations, kids will learn to be thankful for the trees in their neighborhood. This book approaches teaching all the wonderful things trees provide in a fun, readable format. A Tribute to the Many & Surprising Ways Trees Relate to Our Lives In books such as Cathedral and the later tales included in the collected stories volume Where I'm Calling From, Carver revealed himself to be a more expansive writer than in the earlier published books, displaying Chekhovian sympathies toward his characters and relying less on elliptical effects. Carver's stories were brilliant in their detachment and use of the oblique, ambiguous gesture, yet there were signs of a different sort of sensibility at work. Suggestive rather than explicit, and seeming all the more powerful for what is left unsaid, Carver's stories were held up as exemplars of a new school in American fiction known as minimalism or "dirty realism," a movement whose wide influence continues to this day. Beneath his pared-down surfaces run disturbing, violent undercurrents. In collections such as Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Carver wrote with unflinching exactness about men and women enduring lives on the knife-edge of poverty and other deprivations. Raymond Carver's spare dramas of loneliness, despair, and troubled relationships breathed new life into the American short story of the 1970s and '80s.
