I got my copy of Robert McKee's STORY through interlibrary loan today (one of the benefits of working on a university campus).
I only read the Introduction, but I already found two lines I love:
--"The archetypal story unearths a universally human experience, then wraps itself inside a unique, culture-specific expression."
--"Rather than agonizing over the odds [of publication], put your energies into achieving excellence."
This man knows what he's talking about.
