For those that don't know, The Hero with a Thousand Faces is the book that explains the concept of the Monomyth. The Monomyth is the pattern that many (most) successful stories take, particularly those listened to by the Hollywood machine, following a few suggestions back in the late 80's/Early 90's that explained how everyone reacts to this sort of thing (at least in western culture). I've had books on similar subjects but never the original book itself, so I thought to take a read upon it and see if it makes any difference to how I do things (planning a story rather than lighting the fuse and hanging on for example...). So that's one thing that'll be coming around in future posts, whether or not the book makes sense and which parts of it are helpful.
Few more announcements to make, but it's late and I need to get up in the morning, so...
