Breaking Down The Hero’s Journey Plot Structure (tips for fantasy & sci-fi writers) — She’s Novel
Here is one of the best discussions I have read on “The Hero’s Journey.” This plot structure is my favorite. Enjoy! ❤
Hello there, writers! Today, I am so excited to talk about one of my favorite writing topics: plot structure. Now I know that probably doesn’t sound all that exciting, but if there’s anything that’s truly going to set you up for success–especially when it comes time to edit–it’s this. So if you often have problems with plot holes and pacing issues, plot structure is going to be your saving grace.Today, in particular, we’re going to talk about the plot structure that I use most often in my own writing: The Hero’s Journey. This plot structure is a true classic, used most often in fantasy and science fiction.
