This morning I was checking out the Editorial Departments Blog that is discussing Janet Burroway's book... and found myself drawn to this article titled The Power and Importance to Human Connection to a Great Screenplay by Claudia Johnson.
This is what captured me:
"There was something deeper at work. Mulling over what it might be, I saw that it was connection itself. Underlying the conflict of Ruby’s story, underlying the events of her life and mine — underlying any good story, fictitious or true — is a deeper pattern of change, a pattern of connection and disconnection. The conflict and surface events are like waves, but underneath is an emotional tide — the ebb and flow of human connection. It’s just as essential to story as conflict but it has been essentially overlooked."
