In this episode, we're finally putting the Hero's Journey to rest and bidding farewell to Christopher Vogler's "The Writer's Journey." And by "putting to rest," we mean cramming the entire second half of this doorstop of a book into one episode. Renee takes one for the team by distilling each chapter down to its least painful bits. Then we'll zoom out to discuss what we actually found valuable in this tome and offer our candid recommendations on how to approach reading it.For the second half, we're pivoting to something that won't collect dust on your shelf—our new mini-series on AI and its invasion of the writing world. Do chatbots mean the end of the craft of writing, or can we humans somehow incorporate the AI's as tools to improve our stories? Today, we're just examining how alarmingly far AI has advanced since our last tech episode two years ago (spoiler: it's terrifying).Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday.

Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey insists all stories follow the Hero's Journey template—but does this actually work for romance novels? I mean, we know they have climaxes... just not necessarily the kind Vogler was talking about.In this workshop, we corner romance author Lia Riley - creator of the time travel regency hockey romance Puck & Prejudice - who's happy to geek out about the structure behind those steamy page-turners. Lia discusses the essential structure, beloved tropes, and what she playfully calls "the butter"—those deeper emotional truths that give romance its irresistible flavor.We chat about the weird contradiction at the heart of romance: how do books where everyone knows the ending somehow dig deeper into who we really are? Lia breaks down how characters fumble through their emotional baggage to find real connection, basically becoming their best selves by falling in love.And because we couldn't let her go without some fun talk, Lia tells us about her own podcast obsessions—Afternoona Delight, where she goes all-in on K-drama analysis, and Afternoona Army, her unapologetic haven for fellow BTS fans.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday.

Just when you thought you had the Hero's Journey all figured out, we're back with a surprising twist! In our previous episode, we confidently declared that the "Road Back Home" stage was the climax of the journey. But according to Christopher Vogler's "The Writer's Journey," we may have jumped the gun. It turns out that the true climax lies in the "Resurrection" stage.Confused? Intrigued? You're not alone! Join us as we try to untangle the differences between the two stages. We'll explore what makes the "Resurrection" stage so pivotal and how it serves as the ultimate test for our hero.But the journey doesn't end there. We'll also shed light on the final stage, the "Return with Elixir," where our hero comes full circle, bringing back the hard-earned wisdom and rewards to share with the world. Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday.

Will chats with author Douglas Burton about his newest book, The Heroine's Labyrinth: Archetypal Designs in Heroine-Led Fiction. It boldly presents a paradigm shift for story structure that is exciting for writers and audiences alike.Sourced entirely from heroine-centric stories. the heroine's labyrinth model offers a completely original and groundbreaking alternative to the hero's journey. The book has been endorsed by Hollywood and storytelling gurus such as Christopher Vogler and Matt Bird.0:00 - Introduction5:40 - Interview Start43:50 - 80s Movies Examples1:03:20 - Wrap-UpBecome a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowEmail us at will@1980snow.com or kat@1980snow.com.Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowLearn more about author Douglas A.

Remember family road trips? When you're finally past the halfway point and it's nothing but "Are we there yet?" from the backseat? That's where we are in Christopher Vogler's "The Writer's Journey" - four more stages to go on his Hero's Journey roadmap, and in this episode we're hitting two big ones. First up is "Rewards," where our hero catches their breath after surviving Act 2's major crisis. But don't get too comfortable, because "The Road Home" is anything but a peaceful cruise. Think less scenic route, more high-speed chase, as old enemies pop up in the rearview mirror. Some call this the climax - we sure do. Buckle up!Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

Think you know where your hero's journey is headed? Think again. We're diving into the Ordeal - that gut-punch moment some people still confuse with the Climax (spoiler alert: they're not the same thing, folks). This episode had us playing cartographer through the wonderfully labyrinthine (read: headache-inducing) chapters of Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey. Because apparently, writing about story structure needed its own plot twists. After untangling Vogler's literary maze, we tackle the burning questions: When should your protagonist's world implode in Act Two? How do you make readers lose sleep over your crisis scene? We put our hard-earned wisdom to work by dissecting John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society, proving that even giant monster books need their big moment perfectly timed.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday.

Remember how we've occasionally side-eyed Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey? Well, today we fully roast this bewildering mess, starting with his "Approaching the Innermost Cave" stage, which is the part of the story where the protagonist(s) prepare to face their greatest order (Which is somehow not the story's climax... we're as confused as you are.)Despite Vogler's best efforts to perplex us all, we actually crack the code on how to prep your characters for their big adventure while keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Plus, we dissect John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society to see how his characters approach their 'cave'—which isn't actually a cave at all, because you can't exactly land a helicopter in one of those. Speaking of disappointments: remember Renee wanting more action in Kaiju? She got her wish, and somehow that made it worse.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

What really happens between "accepting the call" and facing the big bad? Christopher Vogler's The Writer's Journey skims through this crucial story phase with vague talk of Tests, Allies, and Enemies. But Kim and Renee aren't settling for that. Armed with John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society (and ditching those tired old Hollywood examples), they'll show you exactly how to craft a story's meaty middle. Whether that alone is enough to keep your readers hooked is up for debate.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

A few weeks ago, CJ FINALLY won the War of Art when it came to starting a second podcast, something he's been seriously thinking about & planning for over 5 years. The podcast is called Archetopical, and has its own separate podcast feed from the DHP. You can find it here, or search for it wherever you consume your audio podcasts. (And if you can't find it on your favorite podcatcher, shoot CJ an email to let him know where you can't find it & he'll try to rectify that.) CJ's first Archetopical episode (numbered episode zero) was a basic introduction episode. This one is episode 1, in which CJ explains and analyzes the Hero's Journey monomyth and associated archetypes, as popularized by people like Joseph Campbell & Christopher Vogler. It is being shared on the DHP feed as well in order to let the DHP audience know about it & get a taste of it. Enjoy!

Snedtänkt följer en urgammal dramaturgisk princip: inledning följs av fördjupning som avslutas med ett slut. Med Harald Pålbrant som medhjälpare stegar vi upp hjältens resa såsom den skildrats i tusentals sagor, vid lägereldar och på storbildsskärmar, och som den formulerats av Joseph Campbell och Christopher Vogler. Allt slutar om inte lyckligt så iallafall tillfredsställande. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

How do you shift your book's hero from their nice, cozy ordinary world into the adventure. According to Christopher Vogler in his book, The Writer's Journey, you have them answer the call. In this episode we discuss the various forms that the call stage can take, and also why, even the most willing hero must "refuse the call." To illustrate how this works in a non-movie example, we turn to John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society that fulfills both these requirements in clever and witty ways.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

What if we get the sense that our story is a trope, that the plot is a cliche, that it's been done before?  Here are thoughts on cliched stories.  Also, Christopher Vogler's twelve steps for plotting our story.Support the Show.

If you have read even just the first part of a blog post on the hero's journey, you know the hero starts off in the ordinary world before embarking on their epic adventure. But the ordinary world is more than a boring place the hero is itching to leave. According to Christopher Vogler in his book The Writer's Journey, there's a lot of that needs to be included in the ordinary world section of the story. The writer must establish an interesting and sympathetic main character, set the mood and expectations, establish what's at stake, and squeeze in backstory (using graceful exposition) and theme. That's a lot to unpack, bur we somehow manage in this podcast episode! There are many, many more subheadings in this very loooong chapter, but as we point out, most don't need to be there. Vogler finishes up the chapter with examples from The Wizard of Oz (the movie, not the book) Rather than rehash that, we picked a better book: John Scalzi's Kaiju Preservation Society and boy does it ever have on heck of an ordinary world for the hero to leave behind.Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

Are we done with archetypes now? Almost!There are just three more archetype chapters in Christopher Vogler's book, The Writer's Journey, and we have issues with two of them. The Shadow feels more like a force than a character and anyone from a legit supporting actor to unnamed gofer can be labeled an Ally. The one archetype we did like was the Trickster, whose actions and words can bring much needed chaos to your story. They all make for great discussions in this episode.For literary examples we turned to Howl's Moving Castle and The Witcher (books, video game, but NOT the show)Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.

Send us a Text Message.Everyone who's read a blog post on the Hero's Journey can spot the Hero and Mentor archetypes, but what about a Threshold Guardian, or Herald, or elusive Shapeshifter? Are these actual story archetypes or just personifications of the early stages in the Hero's Journey? Do they play a significant role in modern narratives? And just how sexist is Christopher Vogler, in his book The Writer's Journey, going to get in his descriptions of the femme fatal/temptress Shapeshifter? Find out what we have to say about these three archetypes in this episode---and boy, does Renee have things to say.As a bonus, we draw upon Diana Wynne Jones's book, Howl's Moving Castle, for examples.Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday.

Sign up for TSL Workshops!: https://tslworkshops.circle.so Get Chris' Book!: https://www.amazon.com/Writers-Journey-Mythic-Structure-3rd/dp/193290736X Though Chris Vogler is generally credited with introducing the FRAMEWORK of The Hero's Journey into modern Hollywood discourse, it almost didn't happen. When someone else plagiarized his memo and trafficked it to Jeffrey Katzenberg trying to take credit for it, Chris faced a crossroads. Find out HOW he managed that, and became an essential creative pillar behind the development of THE LION KING.

The Mentor -- Arguably the second most identified archetype from The Hero's Journey (after the eponymous hero). In his book, The Writer's Journey, Christopher Vogler has a lot to say about the mentor: why are they important, what do they do, what kinds of mentors are there, and do you actually need one in your story (okay, the last one might just be us).In this episode, Kim and Renee discuss these points using examples from Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn.Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday.

The Hero's Journey is an archetypal story pattern, common in ancient myths as well as modern day adventures. The concept of the Hero's Journey was described by mythologist Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces and refined by Christopher Vogler in his book The Writer's Journey. This arhetypal pattern may be a reflection of your own soul's journey The essence of the hero's journey is: How do you live a meaningful life? What is the deepest life you are called to? How can you respond to that call? If you don't find that calling, you're likely to live in a lot of misery – to be unhappy, feel lost or confused, or perhaps end up with some significant problems.Perhaps a health issue, a career confusion, or a dysfunctional relationship. To live a hero's journey will provide the most amazing rewards, but to turn away from it may cause tremendous suffering. So what we hope to do in this book is to help you sense and discover what your journey is, and how you might live it fully and deeply. Our interest is to explore how you can connect and align with the deepest part of your spirit, so that everything that you feel and think and do in the world is aligned with the human spirit. A hero's journey is about a type of awakening and a type of opening – an opening to what life is bringing you and calling from you. And this calling is not always easy. Otherwise you wouldn't need to be a hero to do it. There's a great benefit of the hero's journey, which is a sense of a meaning, a sense of being alive in the world. But with that benefit comes also the challenge, the cost. Wherever there is light, there will always be shadows – and in fact you could say the brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And living a full life is about holding and addressing both, the shadows as well as the light. The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channelings, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinstitute.com For coaching – https://www.advancedsuccessinstitute.com For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Music by Mettaverselove becomes usinner worldstravel lightnocturne
