\"It\u2019sLet\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Nevada McPherson<\/a>\u00a0as she shares with us \u201cIt\u2019s All in the Journey.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019ve been discussing story structure with my classes<\/strong> and it started me thinking about how the steps of the Hero\u2019s Journey might look if I were to try and trace those steps through my own life.<\/p>\n

Hero\u2019s Journey<\/h2>\n

Many of you are likely familiar with the Hero\u2019s Journey, but if not, it\u2019s a time-tested, age-old structure for storytelling that follows a hero from his\/her ordinary world (following the \u201ccall to adventure,\u201d) through the \u201cspecial world\u201d of the story.<\/p>\n

During this journey the hero encounters enemies and allies while undergoing tests and trials along the way, until the hero returns to the ordinary world with a magical object, elixir, special understanding, or knowledge.<\/p>\n

The hero\u2019s journey and character archetypes associated with it are explored extensively<\/strong> by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces<\/em><\/a>. Drawing from Campbell\u2019s work, author Chris Vogler examines the hero\u2019s journey as regards screenwriters and storytellers in his book, The Writer\u2019s Journey<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Story Structure<\/h2>\n

Story structure, for me, was one of the hardest things to learn when I first started writing, and even now it can be very challenging.<\/p>\n

The Writer\u2019s Journey<\/em> helped me to develop a better understanding of structure, and how this particular pattern cuts across genres to captivate audiences.<\/p>\n

The Hero\u2019s Journey helped me to put together the nuts and bolts of beginnings, to bridge the space in that vast second act that can be so intimidating, and to bring things full circle when the hero, having survived the \u201csupreme ordeal\u201d and final difficulties of \u201cthe road back\u201d shares what s\/he has learned, to contribute to the greater good.<\/p>\n

Feeling Constricted<\/h2>\n

Some writers may feel a bit constricted by this (or any, for that matter) story structure, and certainly not every story is meant to be structured this way.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even your own hero\u2019s journey story map circles back in some places where you\u2019d prefer to keep going forward; I know mine certainly does.<\/p>\n

However, perhaps the circling back happens when there\u2019s something in our lives that needs further examination, revision, or revamping. In the hero\u2019s journey, any steps the hero skips or fails to master have to be repeated, so until a hero proves his or her mettle, s\/he is not ready to move on.<\/p>\n

I suppose each of us is the hero in our own journey.<\/strong> We all have enemies and allies (hopefully more allies than enemies), and we all have tests and trials we must overcome to return with the elixir or special knowledge that will benefit our nearest and dearest, as well as our whole community.<\/p>\n

Just for fun, trace the steps of the hero\u2019s journey through the arc of one of your main characters. I plan to do this with a couple of upcoming projects; it helps!<\/p>\n

Cheers to all you NaNoWriMo<\/a> folks out there\u2014see you on the other side of November!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy writing!<\/p>\n
