TAP028, 5 Tips for Structuring a Story with the Hero’s Journey (Part 4 of 4)

Send us a text

It’s been one of those weeks. You know, that week that starts off crappy and turns into a nightmare. But, the week eventually redeemed itself in the final hour. This is going to sound overdramatic, but I’ve got the opposite of the Midas touch. I’m sure there’s a name for that, but it’s completely escaped my mind. However, I’m going to keep this show rant-free as much as humanly possible.

I had huge dreams for this week: commission a professional beta read, finish my revisions for Missing, and work on Smarter Goal Setting. And on top of that, I had a weird experience with PayPal and a potential coaching client that I’m still scratching my head about. Just hearing that makes me want to laugh and cry all at once. For the sake of adding to this drama, I’m starting to get bored of working on Missing. There’s a part of me that needs to look at something different.

So, that’s what I got up to last week. I’m hoping in the next Behind the Scenes Podcast Diary, which will be episode 020, that I will have finished the self-editing phase for Missing, submitted the story to a professional Beta Reader, and started revisions for Silence. And received a quote from my line editor and hopefully some good news in regards to whether my manuscript is ready for editing. Are you revising a story as well? I want to hear from you. Let me know by coming over to the blog post at authorpreneurpodcast.com/bts019/ and share your goals in the comments section.

Thanks for listening!
