Thanks for pointing me to this post...Hi, Melissa, <br /><br />Thanks for pointing me to this post. I'll have to reread some of the Journey Narratives you mention, but my instinct is that I'd lump them into the Chronological category? <br /><br />One of the interesting ideas to fall out of the preparation for this talk for me was this: in the end, the category labels don't really matter all that much. As you say, the important thing is to recognize that there are different structures and to have seen them at work. That way we can make intentional choices with our own work, choices that will ultimately pair the perfect structure with a great story. <br /><br />Thanks for all you do to foster nonfiction thinking and discussing, Melissa.<br /><br />Best,<br />Loree<br />www.loreeburns.com Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488042654610511802.post-19627619562669986662014-05-07T11:16:51.042-04:002014-05-07T11:16:51.042-04:00Awesome post Melissa!
