Great po...I do love reading Adair Jones' blog.<br /><br />Great post, Laura! Much food for thought. I agree with everything you've said here. There may be seven basic templates, but individual human experience can overcome repetition. The reason we can rewrite the same template over and over is because we all see the world differently . . .<br /><br />All fiction holds truth.<br /><br />- Lauren<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ladaisi.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ladaisi Blog</a>ladaisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348955254558187266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299850122751718411.post-24779278933235553302011-01-08T21:20:39.234-08:002011-01-08T21:20:39.234-08:00I hear you on that one.

I do think our ideas can be said to be products of our place within specific social and cultural locales (that's where I think the list comes as a helpful reference) but we make the specifics entirely our own when we write creatively. Nothing is predetermined. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125517898049370436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299850122751718411.post-55458497365785688132011-01-07T19:21:34.280-08:002011-01-07T19:21:34.280-08:00You know I hear this all the time, along with vari...You know I hear this all the time, along with various other tweakings and reteachings of this idea. I just don't think I've ever really used it. The only I sit down to worry about what kind of story I'm telling is when I'm working on the summary to publish or field to editors. <br /><br />I have a list of goals to address and themes to take on in every story, but I never think of the story fitting into any one box when I'm writing it. The exact literary nature of what I'm writing doesn't really come into mind, I guess. I have an idea, I work it out, then I figure out what to call it.<br /><br />This a helpful reference, especially for beginning writers who aren't quite sure what kind of story they're telling just yet.
