![]() Other story professionals, such as Michael Haugue and Allen Palmer have added their own analyses and interpretations based on books and movies that move us and gain wide popularity. The Monomyth has been interpreted many different ways over the decades, the most well-known of which is the Hero’s Journey, by Chris Vogler. In 1949 Campbell condensed what he found into what he called the Monomyth, seventeen stages which take a hero from their ordinary world through a series of tests and trials, to a final climax. While doing so, he discovered many of the same elements kept coming up over and over again, regardless of location or era. This story commonality was discovered by Joseph Campbell, who studied myths and stories across many different cultures since the dawn of storytelling. That's because research shows that there is a common template that the vast majority of popular stories follow. Luckily for us, we don't have to grope around in the dark, guessing at what elements we should include in our story and in what order, to create a gripping and satisfactory story with a good beginning, middle and end. (If you haven’t done a premise, then it’s no big deal, you can create your plot outline without, and you can go back to it later if you decide you want to). The story skeleton is where we give your plot a few more bones, and see how it starts to take shape. ![]()
