It’s all her fault. Yup. PJ Hoover. PJ is one of my critique buddies. She happened to mention The Hero’s Journey, when Ishared my plotting outline method. She even went so far as to share her plot structure. And because I enjoy her writing so much, I decided to try this method.
Of course I had to find out whether there was a YouTube video of The Hero’s Journey…and guess what I found? A video of Christopher Vogler, creator of The Writer’s Journey for screenwriters, describing The Hero’s Journey for the movie, The Matrix. I haven’t watched this movie, so if you’ve seen it, let me know if you liked it. In any event, if you want a quick synopsis of The Hero’s Journey, watch this.
Consider yourself warned: I write books about rebels. I'm also a postergirlz for readergirlz, a literary advisory group for teens. Who knew going back to the teenage years would be so rewarding?
