Yes, alright. Both the Hero's Journey and The Heroine's Journey are valid story-telling tools and potentially life-changing in the way they make us think.
Just...one of these models is more likely to change lives for the better than the other one, that's all.
00:01 Not an attack on The Monomyth. No, really!
01:29 Where the author's journey began: Maureen Murdock
02:31 Where the Heroine's Journey begins (you have no idea how much restraint it took not to entitle this chapter the Heroine's Cycle Begins)
03:59 Where the Hero and the Heroine's paths diverge
07:19 The Quest: Volume II
12:06 Pyramids vs. Circles
Thanks for visiting the channel.
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.

Perfect vs complete, interesting. I had not thought of it that way before. Excellent subtle use of childhood classics. Lovely as always, Martha!

This is some good food for thought.

@SelfWriteousness 2 месяца назад

Very good. My humble hope is that it is more nourishing food for thought than Annoying Orange.

@MargaretPinard 2 месяца назад

I didn't know there was a book titled this before Gail Carriger's recent version!

@DavidLeeIngersoll 2 месяца назад

Thank you for recommending this book!

@SelfWriteousness 2 месяца назад

Pleasure. *tips hat* It legit changed my life for the better. I hope it's still got places to go :)

😭not the Bob Dylan shade!!! 👏

@SelfWriteousness 2 месяца назад

Aw, no shade meant. Just a sassy little reminder that the guy who sings it first might not be the guy who sings it best (although for what it's worth, Dylan didn't sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" first, and his is the only version I kinda like)

@JoeyPaulOnline 2 месяца назад

Oh this one was interesting and it's not one I've heard of, might have to check it out!

@SelfWriteousness 2 месяца назад

Good deal. The mere idea of an alternative to *The Hero's Journey* and it's "pass or fail" attitude as opposed to "maybe try again" was enough to give me my first foothold in crawling out of the deepest despair in recollection. The book is (potentially) life-changing. I genuinely can't recommend it enough.

I don't think Campbell claimed the monomyth is about every story ever, but only that he thought it represents all myth. Which is still wrong, as so much of his work is, but I don't see why first misrepresenting him and then making a big point how the Heroine's Journey is complementary is supposed to be a good thing... Anyway, I think some aspects of the heroine's journey are interesting, but too me it is too much drenched in a gender duality thinking, an as a non-binary person myself that prevented me from identifying that journey as any more useful than the hero's journey. To me both look not like the universe gendered experience as people make them out to be, but as rather niche and very narrow paths of gender expression.

@SelfWriteousness 2 месяца назад

I mean, if you can recommend a better storytelling model that is tried, true, and less exclusionary by gender, I will put it on my short list. I've not yet read the Le Guin Carrier Bag model, but I hear good things.

@Drudenfusz 2 месяца назад

@@SelfWriteousness Yes, the carrier bag idea from Le Guin is great. Another interesting read is Douglas Burton's book that was released just two months ago called Heroine's Labyrinth. It is not perfect, but it feels like a more general counter proposal to Campbell's work, even though he also looked at it as complementary to it. Overall I think the problem is for me mostly in the narratives that close a circle. Since a cyclical nature might be something we find pleasing, but it the character ends the story where they started then it feels link the whole journey was pointless. I work on my own model, I call it the story wave, and it is partly inspired by Kurt Vonnegut.

Is-- anyone poking at you to write a book about your story wave, by chance? If not, I'd be honored to be the first :)
