Killer Instincts -- 2008 May
The Journey Cycle
Instructor: Robin Matheson
Class Description:
Is your protagonist poised at the Edge of the Forest, negotiating the Trail of Breadcrumbs, or facing the Mirror on the Wall? To reach a satisfying ending to any story, be it romance or another genre, each step in the Journey requires careful deliberation if your hero or heroine is to pass the Glass Slipper Test.
This course uses the familiar, symbolic world of Fairy Tales to reinterpret the Hero's Journey into easy to understand motifs. As a story building tool, the course examines key issues and poses a series of questions about each stage to help writers "troubleshoot" their way to the next "level". A 2-part assignment is included with each of the 12 lectures.
Whether you are seeking a better understanding of the journey process to create a stronger story structure or you are looking for some brainstorming ideas to conquer a certain leg of that journey, this course is for you!
