Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Content Structure for Flash Fiction has never been so simple and fast.What if all story ideas were able to be boiled down to a single formula?Wycliffe A. Hill had this idea in the 1930's when no less than Cecil B. DeMille rejected one of his stories because ""it had a good narrative, but no drama."" This led Hill to research what made a dramatic story. That study lead to a 1920's author who claimed (based on even older research) that there were only 36 possible conflicts through all dramatic works.Not too long after, Joseph Campbell produced his ""Hero With a Thousand Faces"" which prescribed the monomyth as a base for all stories. Chris Vogler then championed this idea through Hollywood. And the Star Wars saga, as well as multiple Disney hits followed that generic model.Robert Silverberg reviewed Hill's work as:""Pick one up, follow the instructions, write your story. You might just find that a grand literary career is unfolding for you in a wondrous, magical way.""
