If everyone agrees that it’s okay to share this modification of nadinbrzezinski’s template, and someone will tell me where to find the template file, I’ll upload it here.
The way I use a template like this: I create a new project with it, then open a project based on my own templates, then drag and drop the folders over to my manuscript.
That’s very cool of you. A couple of notes about the template:
• You’re missing a beat at the beginning. I guess it would be beat zero - The Ordinary World. Hero’s Journeys generally show us the world in which the Hero is living, before the call to adventure comes.
• Just a note for those who want to use the template who haven’t read HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES or any of the writing books based on it – the order, structure and size of these steps is very fluid. Campbell points out in the book that whole epics have been written about a single element on the list. (The Odyssey is an epic about The Return Home.) Also, these structures can repeat in a story. There are several stories that have multiple calls to adventure and refusals.
