Thanks for sharing. It's interesting...Hi Nancy<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. It's interesting - do these "master plots" work simply because they follow routes that have become familiar to us? So our stories follow the same paths and those that follow will write the same because they become familiar with our work? Perhaps this shouldn't be a surprise, but it is. You'd think that freshness and inventiveness would be highly prized, but I wonder if in fact it would be unsettling? Something to ponder!<br /><br />Have a good week<br /><br />:DomDominic de Mattoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171145945316152596noreply@blogger.com
