Great stories are ultimately about how conflict leads to change. Great characters are those who try to change things and end up changed themselves: win, lose, or draw. We love stories because, on the deepest level, they reflect this truth. Living changes us. Stories do more than entertain. They prepare us. Inspire us. Affirm and enlighten us for the changes we face in our own lives.

Takeaways:

  • Gain a new perspective on a current writing challenge.
  • Tap into the creative resources you have to meet it
  • Use the motifs and lessons of mythic stories to support your writing
  • Use change as a lens for thinking through every aspect of your story.
