Norton) Carl Jung was a giant in the dawn of the age of psychoanalysis. A student of Freud who broke with Freud. Champion of the individual spiritual quest as doorway to the universal. In midlife, he looked for his own soul and found nothing. Jung said his “red book,” in which he recorded his visions, was the base of everything else he did.

In his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell identified the story elements that were common to all the great stories across cultures and generations. Chris Vogler in The Writer’s Journey applied Campbell’s thinking to the movies and came up with 12 steps that define a classic story structure. These 12 steps – and my own Hero’s Emotional Journey – form the foundation for my Screenwriting Courses. Step 1 – Ordinary World We see the Hero in their normal setting before the story comes to shake up their world.
Step 2 – Call to Adventure The Hero gets a Call to Adventure, inviting their to leave their Ordinary World. Step 3 – Refusal of the Call Typically, the Hero will initially refuse this call – or reservations will be expressed by those around them. Step 4 – Meeting with the Mentor The Hero will then interact with a mentor figure, though not necessarily a wise old man with grey hair. Step 5 – Crossing the First Threshold Step 6 – Tests, Allies and Enemies Step 8 – The Ordeal. 10 Ways Journaling Makes You a Better Writer « Live to Write – Write to Live.

My entries have ranged from copies of Shakespeare’s poems to what I did today to philosophical musings to documentation of the soap opera antics of the teenage years. In her book If You Want to Write (originally published in 1938), Brenda Ueland encourages writers to “Keep a Slovenly, Headling, Impulsive, Honest Diary.” I agree. Here are my top ten reasons why journaling will make you a better writer: Number 10: It helps develop better writing habits.
Number 9: It helps you find your voice. Number 8: It clears your mind. Number 7: It saves relationships. Number 6: It brings you closer to perfect. Like this: Inipi. iTools - use the best tools.
