Bart Palamaro, The Hero's Journey: Why do I need it. How do I use it?
So what is The Hero's Journey(THJ)? It is everywhere.
Novel, movie or Flash Fiction, The Hero's Journey is the structure of all storytelling. You may use it, or parts of it,without knowing it.
After a brief intro to THJ, we will use a graphic 'skeleton' to understand and apply the structure of THJ. i.e: Who inhabits the story line, what happens when (and why), and how to use it to better write (and understand) your own stories.
This skeleton will give you a structure and a timeline to build your story on. Understand this and you will also know how to write the Dreaded Outline, and avoid the Muddle in the Middle.
Last, we will dissect an unlikely example from pop culture.
THJ is the bones. The flesh is up to you.
With Q&A, valuable insights and a touch of humor.
Yup, all in one hour.

1:30 - 3:00 Afternoon workshop:
Bart Palamaro, The Hero's Journey- Does Your Story Fit? For this workshop bring a story, finished or not, or a story idea you would like to write, but don't quite know how to make it work.
A story, at it's most basic, is a person with a goal who meets obstacles, opposition and 'help' in achieving the goal.
In this session we will use a graphic of THJ do a quick recap of a well known, popular story as the 'hero' travels through the stages from ordinary life, through enticements and fears, goals and challenges, setbacks and obstacles, meeting enemies and allies, triumph and defeat, rising from the ashes, the ultimate victory and new life.
In the workshop part you will get the chance to apply THJ to your work. A WIP, a story where you're stuck, or a finished novel.
With Q&A, valuable insights and a touch of humor.
Yup, all in one and-a-half hours.
You must register to attend this AFTERNOON workshop. REGISTER HERE
