End of the Road: The Last Two Stages of the Hero's Journey


Listen Later

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. Check us out.
