DanyelleLeafty @ilanawaters Anytime. :D #mglitchat -9:01 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @elissacruz @AnshaKotyk I can tell by the box that
they are girl scout cookies! #MGLitChat -9:01 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters seriously. I will now be forced to make
these pumpkin cookies(recipe is sitting on desk) #mglitchat -9:01 PM Nov 15th,
2012
DanyelleLeafty Welcome to #mglitchat. We'll be talking about
the hero--or heroine's--journey. Any good books come to mind? -9:01 PM Nov

DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters Pumpkin cookies?
#mouthwaters #mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty conceptually Christopher Vogler's
book A writer's journey- I don't write without it. #mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov
15th, 2012
matt_janacone Are we chatting about book clubs tonight?
#mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty Oh, yes. pumpkin, cake like with
icing. You're making me do it. just sayin' #mouthwaters #mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov
15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @matt_janacone Not tonight. Tonight we're
talking hero's journey. :D #mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @aleishagore Cool. Next time we MUST sit
together. :-) #mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone tonight is Hero's journey
#mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty @matt_janacone you beat me to the
punch D. #mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk ! #mouthisdefinitelywatering
#mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone @DanyelleLeafty Fine with me. #mglitchat -9:03

elliefalcone I'm just here for the pointers. :::sits in
corner::: #mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @DanyelleLeafty Isn't there supposed to be a
difference btw hero and heroine journeys? #MGLitChat -9:04 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty One of my favorite heroine's journey book is
The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. #mglitchat
#yummyprose -9:04 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elissacruz @elliefalcone :::sits with you::: #mglitchat
-9:04 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty Like I said I'm very big into the
Journey.#mglitchat -9:04 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk So long as there are pumpkin
cookies, I'm in. :p #mglitchat -9:04 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk I have the
Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin ones in my freezer right now! #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov

LaurelSnyder Jumping in from a hotel in FL! What's the
topic? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lshullinger @ilanawaters lol, you crack me up everytime I
attend this chat :-) #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @Bec_AS That's an excellent thought. Would
love to hear your thoughts. :) #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone @elissacruz Cookie? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov
15th, 2012
JeanGiardina I'm here too but struggling with my own hero's
journey of NaNo word count at the same time. *grabs sword* #mglitchat -9:05 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @JeanGiardina Oh, Nano. I hear ya. I'm sooo
behind. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty I remember reading several great
journeys of Heros...my favorite is Count of Monte Cristo-recently read again.
#mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk I can see my cookie
supplies are low. This needs to be remedied. With pumpkins. #mglitchat -9:05 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder Hero's Journey. or Heroine's
#mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @ilanawaters lol. Lan party! #mglitchat -9:06 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea Topic? #mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone there's story's beginning, then when it
officially begins - when hero's journey begins. #mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th,
2012
DanyelleLeafty @JeanGiardina *sends hero NaNo cookies*
#mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
coachhays64 @DanyelleLeafty How about Peter Nimble and His
Fantastic Eyes for a hero's journey? #mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @coachhays64 I NEED to read this! #mglitchat
-9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @ixtumea Hero/heroine's journey. :D
#mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea RT @DanyelleLeafty: @ixtumea Hero/heroine's journey.
:D #mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @DanyelleLeafty I think the heroine is supposed to be
more domesticated, less saves the world. #MGLitChat -9:07 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @coachhays64 Another excellent book!
#mglitchat What stood out to you particularly with this one? -9:07 PM Nov 15th,
2012
ixtumea I use the hero's journey in my own writing.
#mglitchat -9:07 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea Also YA author Joyce Sweeney uses it too in her
writing classes. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone Hero's journey is also called 'the call to
adventure'. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Nov 15th, 2012
LaurelSnyder I don't think about the hero's journey. Maybe
this is a problem... #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @Bec_AS Interesting. I think there is
definitely a difference, but I think the two threads are narrowing closer
together. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters *helps @JeanGiardina put on her armor* Go slay
that NaNo dragon! You can do it! Plus, the village is counting on you!
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @coachhays64 LOVE that one. Who doesn't love a
hero with interchangeable eyes! #mglitchat @DanyelleLeafty -9:08 PM Nov 15th,
2012
matt_janacone In screenwriting, the hero's j begins between
page 10-25. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @Bec_AS Frankly, I would like to read about a
heroine's journey-don't think I know many. You? #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th,
2012
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder I can't write WITHOUT thinking
about it... maybe that's a aproblem too? #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws Found these infographics #mglitchat
http://t.co/7wHaY3Rx -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @JeanGiardina @coachhays64 Interchangeable
eyes for the win! #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea @LaurelSnyder No, you do great without using it. So
I wouldn't worry! #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone The wording is throwing me off. When I think
hero/heroine I think BIG, HUGE. We're just talking mc, right? #mglitchat -9:08
PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @ixtumea Do you use a specific model? Joseph
Campbell or someone else's interpretation? #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @ilanawaters You tryin' to get me drunk? lol I'm
already salivating over cookie chat. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws here's another infographic #mglitchat -9:09
PM Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea @JeanGiardina I use a blend of models. #mglitchat
-9:09 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @coachhays64 @DanyelleLeafty Was that the 1
where they got pecked out by crows? If so, that's why I didn't make it past
first pg. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @LaurelSnyder *confession* I usually don't
either. #mglitchat At least, not until later on. -9:09 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk Looks like Joseph Campbell's work RT
@lisabrowndraws: Found these infographics #mglitchat http://t.co/MUxfrKdB -9:09
PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @aleishagore No, but I look more for the hero's
#MGLitChat -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws Didn't attach RT @lisabrowndraws: here's
another infographic #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
coachhays64 @LaurelSnyder I don't know if the hero's journey
carries the same weight as it used to. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @aleishagore Hey, what goes better with cookies
than beer? Except more cookies, natch. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late! Was on my own
journey from Chicago to Cleveland tonight! #MGLitchat -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws One more time? RT @lisabrowndraws: here's
another infographic #mglitchat http://t.co/AADM3slW -9:10 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @elliefalcone I think it can be either.
Usually the hero/ine is the mc, but not always. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 15th,
2012
aleishagore @Bec_AS That's kind of interesting. I may do
that too. Are books made for women too weak? #mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @KDuBayGillis Welcome! #mglitchat -9:11 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
ixtumea @coachhays64 It depends on who you ask. I use it in
my novels. While others don't. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @aleishagore I use the term HERO to mean either
or. Male or female. The hero is the mc. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @ilanawaters Yep! Pretty much, if your eyes get
pecked out by crows in Ch 1, I will follow you to the ends of the earth.
#mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @ilanawaters Tea of course. My hubby's a Brit.
;) Oh and a great book/movie. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone Sorry I relate everything to screenwriting,
but scriptwriting is all I've beendoing lately. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 15th,
2012
ixtumea Here's a model that is similar to what I use:
http://t.co/OBIrdcyW #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws I think the hero's journey often happens
subconsciously, on the author's part. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS Structure ?: With the push to start in mid-action, do
you think the "ordinary world" of the act 1 in hero journey is
out-dated? #MGLitChat -9:12 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @JeanGiardina Ugh! And I will throw your book
across the room! Esp. if it involves a kid's eyes. *shudder* #mglitchat -9:12
PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @aleishagore @Bec_AS I think it depends--esp.
on what the culture views as strengths and weakness and gender roles.
#mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @JeanGiardina @ilanawaters I just dwnlded the
sample to my nook. eye pecking may cause me to move on sigh. it's that good
huh? #mglitchat -9:13 PM Nov 15th, 2012
coachhays64 @ilanawaters @DanyelleLeafty Yep. It all comes
around in the end with the crows. Good stuff & worth pushing through 1st
bit. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone Sorry, I'm derping. Been derping all day. Meant
to ask: how big is this journey? A change? An adventure? #mglitchat -9:13 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @Bec_AS Not outdated. I think it's important to
have a starting point. a base point to move forward from #MGLitChat -9:13 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @aleishagore I'm a Yank, so I'll be need coffee.
Sigh. Actually, I need it now! *headdesk* #mglitchat #Britsarecute -9:14 PM Nov
15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @ilanawaters I think we've discovered our first
difference of opinion. This is a moment for us. :) #mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov
15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws I think all these models and structures are
interesting to study, and then to ignore. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty Now it's kind of bothering me.
My only female role models are mom, sister, TV/Movie- but can't recall any
books #mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @AnshaKotyk @JeanGiardina Maybe...if I knew what
"move on sigh" meant. Enlighten me? #mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov 15th,
2012
CandycaneClaus @lisabrowndraws true for me. i get the gist
of hero's journey, but def don't consciously think about it while plotting.
#mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @Bec_AS I think pressure to start mid-action
is misguide. More important to start w/ something interesting that hooks
reader. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @AnshaKotyk I loved it. @ilanawaters didn't
make it past a little bit of eye pecking. You'll have to be our tie breaker.
#mglitchat -9:15 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @lisabrowndraws I LOVE it!! #mglitchat -9:15 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
dianezahler Hero's (heroine's) journey is big in fairy
tales. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lshullinger @AnshaKotyk @Bec_AS I agree, so the reader can
identify with the character in the beginning #mglitchat -9:15 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty Yes, start with sometime
intriguing-doesn't necessarily have to be action. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Nov 15th,
2012
matt_janacone The hero of the journey is the writer when he
completes a manuscript. :) #mglitchat -9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @DanyelleLeafty Agreed. But that push to "get to
the action" keeps getting repeated. #MGLitChat -9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @aleishagore Most of my favorite books have
strong female characters. Loved the Enchanted Forest Chronicles! #mglitchat
-9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
ilanawaters @JeanGiardina *holds hand to heart* I...I feel
strangely close to you now. *dabs eyes* #mglitchat ;-) -9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @ilanawaters ah hahaha! Cool. I will tell my
hubby that. ;) #mglitchat -9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @DanyelleLeafty @Bec_AS Agree. I think some
books jump in to the action too soon. Need a bit of grounding first. #mglitchat
-9:16 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @Bec_AS I know. *makes me grumpy* Hooks can
be action, but they don't have to be. Too many forget this. #mglitchat -9:17 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty Ok cool. I will look that one
up. #femaleheros #mglitchat -9:17 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone @DanyelleLeafty Agreed. Hitting the ground
running can be confusing for some. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk AgreedRT @DanyelleLeafty: @Bec_AS I know. *makes
me grumpy* Hooks can be action, but they don't have to be. Too many forget
this. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @JeanGiardina @Bec_AS @elliefalcone I agree.
Sufficient grounding is so very important. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @aleishagore Patricia C. Wrede is awesome!
#mglitchat #fairytales #fractured -9:18 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @matt_janacone Only if he's still standing.
Otherwise, it is a tragedy. :p #mglitchat -9:18 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty Thanks! #mglitchat -9:19 PM Nov
15th, 2012
elliefalcone To me, hitting the ground running...I expect
great things because where do you go from that? It had better be spectacular.
#mglitchat -9:19 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty I love the hero journeys because they usually
involve the mc going Elsewhere. I love the wonder that comes with this.
#mglitchat -9:19 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @DanyelleLeafty @matt_janacone Perhaps a comical
tragedy... #MGLitChat -9:19 PM Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @elliefalcone Really good point-should almost be
like a song & have a great build up/ #mglitchat -9:20 PM Nov 15th, 2012
coachhays64 @lisabrowndraws Patrick Carman's Intersect
podcast this week with Lauren Oliver has some interesting ideas on varying
structure. #mglitchat -9:20 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty I agree. I enjoy the adventure
aspect. The unknown adventure that's waiting for him or her #mglitchat -9:20 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone All this talk of cookies makes me want one now.
Thanks, guys. =) #mglitchat -9:20 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws Does the journey have to be literal? I was
under the impression that it wasn't necessarily #mglitchat -9:20 PM Nov 15th,
2012
Bec_AS @elliefalcone Yeah, guess I better start really slow
and quiet, give myself somewhere to go... #MGLitChat -9:20 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk Yes! And exploring/discovering
new worlds. #mglitchat -9:20 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lshullinger @CandycaneClaus neither do i since I'm busy
trying to plot out the mystery. Eating peppermint bark now am ready for
holidays :) #mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty Especially the new worlds. I'm a
sf-fantasy girl I guess. #mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @lisabrowndraws The hero's journey usually
involves the character leaving the normal for the unknown. #mglitchat -9:21 PM
Nov 15th, 2012
aleishagore @lisabrowndraws Absolutely not. It can be
mental, spiritual, physical, etc... #mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty But you know the structure is
strongly used in children's movies. They are the movies I most enjoy.
#mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
Bec_AS @lisabrowndraws No, but the hero has to be pushed out
of their comfort zone #MGLitChat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone I'm trained as a screenwriter to get to heart
of the story between pages 10-25. #mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk Me too! Always have been. O:)
#mglitchat -9:21 PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @aleishagore @lisabrowndraws Yes. The journey
doesn't have to be on the physical plane. :D #mglitchat -9:22 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone Yes, the script is a condensed
version of the novel. #mglitchat -9:22 PM Nov 15th, 2012
CandycaneClaus @lshullinger Mmm, peppermint bark. I'm
drinking eggnog and waiting for the COOKIES! :) #mglitchat -9:22 PM Nov 15th,
2012
aleishagore @DanyelleLeafty Any good examples on superior
use of building new worlds? Beside the obvious Tolkein etc.. #mglitchat -9:22
PM Nov 15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk I agree. I'm not sure why this
structure resonates so strongly, but it does. #mglitchat -9:22 PM Nov 15th,
2012
elliefalcone @lisabrowndraws That's what I was trying to
determine. How big of a journey are we talking? Physical, mental, slaying
zombies? #mglitchat -9:23 PM Nov 15th, 2012
matt_janacone Which do you ladies prefer? Hero's j in love
stories or other than love stories? #mglitchat -9:23 PM Nov 15th, 2012
CandycaneClaus @aleishagore @lisabrowndraws Agree with
Aleisha. Definitely not always a physical journey. #mglitchat -9:23 PM Nov
15th, 2012
DanyelleLeafty @aleishagore Heh. I think Tolkein tops
everyone. O:) #mglitchat I think it depends on what kind of world you're
looking for. #mglitchat -9:23 PM Nov 15th, 2012
lisabrowndraws @elliefalcone well, I was talking about
structure, I guess. a journey as literal OR a metaphor. #mglitchat -9:23 PM Nov
15th, 2012
Bec_AS @DanyelleLeafty You need to be reading Joseph
Campbell! :) #MGLitChat -9:23 PM Nov 15th, 2012
JeanGiardina @lisabrowndraws I always consider the story of
the Budda to be a hero's journey. And he just sat under a tree. #mglitchat
-9:23 PM Nov 15th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @DanyelleLeafty Maybe because the structure is
satisfying in a question and answer kind of way. #mglitchat -9:24 PM Nov 15th,
2012
dianezahler @DanyelleLeafty It's a pretty basic trope, from
The Odyssey on. #mglitchat -9:24 PM Nov 15th, 2012
elliefalcone @matt_janacone Good stories. #mglitchat -9:24
PM Nov 15th, 2012

coachhays64 @dianezahler The old stories. Traditional
stories are filled with the hero's journey. Maybe it's why they're so essential
to us #mglitchat -9:27 PM Nov 15th, 2012

-9:27 PM Nov 15th, 2012

because they include (usually) both a physical & psychological component.

human structures. Something we all go through to a degree. #mglitchat -9:35 PM
