Warning, though. There is some language in the interview that would get asterisked on this forum.

An incredible quality and quantity of information. McKee is a writing guru that I'm in tune with. I gained insights from several of his comments that provided shortcuts through some areas I've been worrying on lately.

High praise indeed! I'll have to check this one out (when I'm not at work... slinks away)

At first I mistook Robert McKee for my lawyer. Same name, different person.

Hmm. Interestingly self contradictory, and kind of scary to me, but then I'm weird. He doesn't seem to be able to decide whether to be rigid or open, but I like what he says on the open end.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, my favorite saying, learned from my dog agility class is:
quote:You have to be rigid about being flexible.
