Dragons, Zombies & Aliens

Last time we talked about the classic story structure, The Hero's Journey. Today, we're talking about a more modern structure: the Beat Sheet. We'll be using Jessica Brody's book "Save the Cat Writes a Novel" (which every author should have on their shelf).

We've all heard of the Hero's Journey, one of the most classic forms of story structure. But let's take a look at it anyway. Today's case study will be Moana. This is part one of a three-part podcast series on story structure. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/dzamarie)

For my first podcast episode, we'll look at how to write a literary antihero, some common issues, and a case study of one of my favorites: Nick Naylor from Thank You for Smoking. Although honestly, he might have to take a back seat. I only just now started watching The Good Place. Holy hell.
