The Hero’s Journey

I tend to be one of those “learn as I go” types…always on the lookout for something new to add to my box of writer’s craft tools. Today I happened across something particularly special (I just love Twitter for that!). While I’ve had a passing familiarity with the concept of the Hero’s Journey, I’ve never really delved deep into it…or maybe I’ve just never run across an explanation as clear and concise as this one.

Whatever the reason, I’m happy I finally have a clear understanding…and to report that, whether I was conscious of it or not during the writing of SINS OF THE ANGELS, my heroine goes through most of the stages. Perhaps this means that the idea of the Hero’s Journey is innate within us all…

Or perhaps I just watch too many children’s movies. 😉
