I read about half of Vogler's The Writer's Journey for my Writing for Animation class, and plan to finish it.<br />This really causes me to think about my story that I'm working on and what it is that the characters are afraid of.

Thanks for letting me know.<br /><br />I'm still amazed that anyone reads this thing at all.<br /><br />As for Kaki's request that I take a picture of my bookshelves and post it, I'm not sure it would be that enlightening.
