Writing: Sequence Approach

We've had our little spats between the Act-ivists and heretic Sequence-iators, but I believe it's primarily because of confusion between plot and story and their relationship. However, Warren Leonard has written convincingly, clearly and enthusiastically enough about the Eight Sequence Structure, I'm actually going to take a look at the source material. Again, you should never treat this stuff as catechism, but the more tools in the toolbox, the better off you'll be.

Writing quote for the week, from pulp great Jim Thompson: "There is only one story: nothing is what it seems."
