Ha... Erik... yeah... not surprised you've never heard of it... it's something I've been developing for years. Google "Enneagram" and you'll get a billion listings. It's huge. Very big in psychotherapy, business consulting, organanizaitons, etc. Best model of human behavior out there---better than Myers Briggs, all of them. Writers have been using the Enneagram for 30 years to develop characters... so that's not new news. But... no one has ever used it for actual story development. That's what my book is all about. I've found what I call the Enneagram-Story Connection ... how to actually use the Enneagram as an assist in story structure and overall development. Brand new stuff... cuts development time in half... and as you probably know... there ain't a whole lot of new stuff in the strory consulting world these days. anyway... my book is being published by Focal Press next year. Here is a link to my own site about the book (the cover will be different I'm sure)... sooo... that's the poop. LINK: http://www.jefflyonsbooks.com/rsd_prod_page/
