Just what I asked Santa for. Words! ♥️
If you want to write (including screenplays) get this book!
"The Hero archetype represents the ego's search for identity and wholeness"(29).
"All the villains, tricksters, lovers, friends, and foes of the Hero can be found inside ourselves. The psychological task we all face is to integrate these separate parts into one complete, balanced entity"(30).
"A book goes out like a wave rolling over the surface of the sea. Ideas radiate from the author's mind and collide with other minds, triggering new waves that return to the author. These generate further thoughts and emanations, and so it goes."
Behold, the Monomyth! Whose current reads or #NaNoWriMo works in progress fit this formula?
Any fellow writers out there getting revved up for #NaNoWriMo? I'll be doing some edits and rewrites this month. Maybe start a new project. A coworker recommended Vogler's manual. The writing is a little stiff, but it's a screenwriting guide with nuggets of Joseph Campbell's mythic wisdom sprinkled throughout. Need a little inspiration and a good kick to the pants. Might work.

#AWP approachth! Any #littens going to #AWP17 in Washington DC? I'd love to meet up with a Litsy Coalition while I'm there :) #writer friends, who will be there?
Wonderful book about character building. It is inspired by Joseph Campbell's book, Hero with a thousand faces, that is exploring mythology, but Vogler uses these references explicitly as tools for writers.
P.S. The cover looks like the map from Westworld 😋🤔
Just starting the book itself after the 1842 introductions and prefaces, but hopefully the content will be as fabulous as the artwork!
