Seven Writing Links -- Volume 145

Kind of took a break from writing this week.  After pounding away on my submission for the IWSG Anthology, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't have it finished by the deadline, so I decided to set everything aside and concentrate on the Story Structure presentation I'll be giving at a local writer's group next Thursday. Maybe next year.  Sigh...

One of the links this week leads to a YouTube video explaining the character types in "The Hero's Journey."  I've embedded it into the post so you can watch it without leaving the blog, but I'm some problems getting it to work right.  If it doesn't work for you, just click on the link instead.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the links!

  2. Enjoyed the puppet video. I get a little annoyed about the hero's journey. It's a concept I think every writer should at least be aware of, but I feel like some writers follow it a little too strictly.

  4. Frog heroes - funny.
    Sorry you won't make the deadline. We might announce it earlier next year to give people more time.

  6. If Joseph Campbell could see that video I'm wondering if he'd be rolling on the floor laughing.

    Sorry about deadline, too. I know how disappointing that can be.
