<p><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">I wish I'd had <em>The Art & Craft of Story</em> when I began work on my first novel. Victoria Mixon brings to bear her analytical skills in a jazzy-riffed voice to give you story, in its classical components. She breaks it down logically, then rebuilds with elegance and playfulness. Not that the work is easy. The last section, Revision, will keep you humming for weeks to come. Read <em>Story</em> before you begin your novel, then go back and mark the book up as you write that novel. Draw, box, diagram, play, think. You begin to grasp the long term commitment to the process, to the work itself, to the art and the craft of <em>story</em>. --Lucia Orth, author of the critically acclaimed <em>Baby Jesus Pawn Shop</em><br /><br /> Opinionated, rumbunctious, sharp and always entertaining, Mixon is a brilliant and ferocious companion. These are lessons of a writing lifetime. --Roz Morris, best selling ghostwriter and author of <em>Nail Your Novel: Why Writers Abandon Novels and How You Can Draft, Fix and Finish With Confidence</em></span></p>
