The Mentor Behind Every Great Hero

Words to Write by

The Mentor -- Arguably the second most identified archetype from The Hero's Journey (after the eponymous hero). In his book, The Writer's Journey, Christopher Vogler has a lot to say about the mentor: why are they important, what do they do, what kinds of mentors are there, and do you actually need one in your story (okay, the last one might just be us).
In this episode, Kim and Renee discuss these points using examples from Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
