Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end. In the beginning you setup your hero and his story, then you throw something at him that is a great source of conflict and takes him into a whole heap of trouble. After facing many foes and overcoming various obstacles the hero saves the day and wins the girl. The thing is, there are many forms of structure and some writers subscribe to one formula, while others subscribe to another.

The Hero’s Journey, or the monomyth, is a common story structure shared by cultures worldwide, in which a character ventures into unknown territory to retrieve something they need. Facing conflict and adversity, the hero ultimately triumphs before returning home, transformed.

The Hero’s Journey has its fingerprints in everything from The Lion King and horror novels to Star Wars and Arrival. But keep in mind that you do not necessarily need to follow it beat by beat. You can instead think of it as a map. You can stray from the set path whenever you like. But when you are struggling to figure out what should happen next, it can act as a narrative arc guide to suggest what the next milestone should be.

The Hero’s Journey is a model for both plot points and character development. As the Hero traverses the world, they will undergo inner and outer transformation at each stage of the journey. The 12 steps of the hero’s journey are – The Ordinary World, The Call of Adventure, Refusal of the Call, Meeting the Mentor, Crossing the First Threshold, Tests, Allies, Enemies, Approach to the Inmost Cave, The Ordeal, Reward (Seizing the Sword), The Road Back, Resurrection, Return with the Elixir.
