WHEN: August 7, 2021 – 1PM Eastern/12PM Central/10AM Pacific via Zoom
Course Description:
Have you ever experienced the spark of a story and jumped in with fire and passion only to find out that 30 or 50 or 75 pages later the story sputters and dies? The number one reason for this phenomenon: weak, one-dimensional characters. Characters without depth, without dimension, do not drive their stories. Enter the need to understand and exploit archetypical figures.
Understand:
- In-depth analysis of the 11 most common male archetypes
- What each archetype fears
- Response of each archetype to a threat or problem
- Understanding the shadow side of each archetype
- What drives each archetype
- Examine examples of each archetype in books, movies, TV shows and more
