Well, it appears that I have been silent here for something over two years. Part of that was due to problems with Blogger, and part was due to my dereliction of duty with regard to the website.

A writer contacted me last week with some questions regarding the structure of a magazine story. In particular, a profile of an individual. I hope he didn't think that I blew him off when I suggested he get the lyrics to the Simon & Garfunkel song, The Boxer, substitute "he" for "I" and use that as a template. Yes, it is a cookie cutter approach, but I think anyone will find the structure in this song quite suitable for profiles. Take a look.
