Story Lab: Style

What Makes a Hero:
Believes all hero's are the same.
They follow "the hero's journey"
Status quo then:

1. call to adventure 
2. assistance 
3. departure
4. trials 
5. approach 
6. crisis
7. treasure
8. result
9. return
10. new life
11. resolution

Back to status quo

Beware of Nominalizations (AKA Zombie Nouns):
Nouns made from other parts of speech.
Take an adjective or verb or noun and add a suffix (ity, ism, tion) to it.
At their best they help explain complex ideas.
At their worst they make communication unclear.
