I confronted this issue a few years back writing a book commissioned by Palgrave Macmillan: The Protagonist’s Journey: Character Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling. That was the first time I had written an academic book, so the pages were coming more slowly than when I write a screenplay, a narrative format with which I am more familiar.
