The Writer's Journey. Let's Do This.


Listen Later

We're on the last chapter of Judith Barrington's book, Writing Your Memoir: practical advice on critique groups, plus the dos and don't of giving and getting feedback. It's practical and useful and everything thing we've come to expect from Barrington.  And before we close the book on memoir, we give our final takes on the book along with what chapters we think are mores useful.

And then .... something new.

Our new book is Christopher Volger's The Writer's Journey. Written back in the 90's this book brought the Hero's Journey mainstream for scriptwriters, and also, as the subtitle promises, for writers. Before we jump into the book proper, we take a moment to consider its introductions (there's two of them) and the promises they make. Get ready for the snark, but also an examination on the mythic structure plotting approach to your writing. 



Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
