This is a great book about writing and the heroine's journey instead of the hero's journey. It's a craft book that I'd recommend all writers and even book lovers take a look at and have on hand especially if you're a writer. I've added it to my library and gone back to look over it a few times already. It's a very useful, helpful and educational craft book. This is a fascinating and fun read that will have me reading books in a new light to discern a hero’s versus heroine’s journey. It also has me doing a lot of pondering about craft and genre fiction. The only thing I felt was missing was a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as I think it could be a classic heroine’s journey. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The definition of the heroine is someone who solves problems she encounters by networking and delegating in a story that ends with her happily embedded in the family she has established. The biological sex of the heroine need not be female.
The hero is strongest when he wins by his own effort and may end up on top, but without much company there. The biological sex of the hero need not be male. The the aimed at response to the story is excitement.
While the heroine's journey can have elements, plot points, archetypes, themes in common with the hero's journey, they start off differently and usually end even more differently. The the aimed at response to the story is comfort.
The book is chatty and maybe a bit defensive in tone, and several times I wanted 2-5 more paragraphs expanding or supporting the current topic but it was on to the next chapter. ( )
