This is a series of posts talking about the story structure known as “The Hero’s Journey.” I’m borrowing heavily from“The Writer’s Journey: A Mythical Structure for Writers 3rd Edition” by Christopher Vogler. This is my interpretation of it, and I’ve tried to highlight some pitfalls I see writers falling into.
The Twelve Stages of the Hero's Journey
- Part One: The Ordinary World
- Part Two: The Call To Adventure
- Part Three: Refusal of the Call
- Part Four: Meeting with the Mentor
- Part Five: Crossing the First Threshold
- Part Six: Tests, Allies, and Enemies
- Part Seven: Approach to the Inmost Cave
- Part Eight: The Ordeal
- Part Nine: The Reward
- Part Ten: The Road Back
- Part Eleven: Resurrection
- Part Twelve: Return With The Elixir
