(Re) Write Your Life

When I began writing fiction almost four years ago, I dove into learning how to write for a young adult audience. I read books on writing, I took classes, I joined two critique groups, I attended conferences and, most importantly, I wrote and revised, revised, revised. What became really clear to me was how much story structure resembled life coaching. It's the hero's journey and we're all on it whether we know it or not. The good news? When we recognize our life path as a hero's journey, we can rewrite not just the end but the beginning and middle, too.
