The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler

Storytelling is the purpose of writing. And while crafting more polished sentences and paragraphs can be practiced and improved upon, creating an affecting story calls upon other talents, some of which are better honed at late night gatherings around a fire pit, as has been the case for tens of thousands of years. It may come as a surprise that even the long forgotten authors of the great myths and fairy tales utilised a few trade secrets to make their stories more entertaining. Turns out that those fictional heroes on their journeys followed a fairly standard script from tale to tale.

Look forward to discussing at the Metronome.
