    #writersCoffeeClub 9/8: The Hero's Journey is garbage. Discuss.

    I avoid writing Hero's Journey narratives because they're deterministic. If the reader recognizes it, it drains the novelity out of a story and turns it into a Plot Coupon Quest—in which the protagonist has to ramble all over fantasyland, collecting magic Plot Coupons, until they have enough to send off to the Author for an Ending.

    NB: it's OK to run something that initially looks like a Hero's Journey then takes a surprise twist.
