I will teach a Sunday School class this coming Sunday, August 19th, at the Congregational Church of Batavia. Service begins at 9:30. Sunday School at 11 am. Click here for more info on the church.
Join me as I review how writers use the monomyth or hero's journey to assist in writing a novel. I'll cover how this detailed plot device aides in outlining, writing and editing a story.
According to an entry on Wikipedia, "...the monomyth,
or the hero's journey, is the common template of a broad category of
tales that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, and in a decisive
crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed."
Examples of monomyth include Star Wars Episode 4 and The Lord of the Rings.
Speaking of monomyths, pick up a copy of Snpgrdxz and the Time Monsters.
“Machine-gun sentences. Fast. Intense. Mickey Spillane-style. No way around it. Paul is a top-notch writer. Top-notch.” Thomas Phillips, author of The Molech Prophecy.
