Crusie shows Retreat attendees how to diagram problematic scenes to ensure
proper pacing. Crusie's career as a bestselling writer of romantic comedies
is the direct result of her pursuit of a Ph.D. As research for her doctoral
dissertation on the impact of gender on narrative strategies, she intended
to read one hundred romance novels and one hundred men's adventure novels.
She found the romance novels so enthralling, she decided to start writing
them herself.
