188 Step Hero's Journey (Monomyth) - Story, Creative Writing and Screenwriting Secrets
FORWARDThe 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].THERE IS ONLY ONE STORYTHE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:(simply go to http://www.story-structure.org/ for full details)*****Pushed out of the Belly of the Whale*****Pushes and Pulls are an underrated aspect of storytelling. Pushes and Pulls force the Hero et al from one stage of the journey to the next.The Hero et al are forced out of the Belly of the Whale. In Romancing the Stone (1984), Zolo catches up with Jack and Joan and starts firing. In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), both are pursued by the posse.*****New Self*****Every Hero transforms from an Ordinary Self to a New Self. It is the New Self that has the capacity to conquer challenges that the Old Self could not. Progression of the New Self is demons

More of my comments on Joseph’s last email.

This time around I have not got a lot of fear of turning back every time I have money and I have a real positive thing that keeps me happy. Since the spirit of lust left me it's though my eyes have changed and women look completely different. No more do my eyes want to wander. No one laid hands on me for this Spirit to leave me and it took me three days to realise it had gone when girls exposed breasts in modern fashion didn't even interest me one day and I asked Jesus what was going on with my eyes. Jesus told me that He had delivered me of the demon of lust due to my sincere repentance. So Joseph not only writes great counsel, so much of it is in the Spirit, not just knowledge but living and breathing.

I have always wondered about the number forty. Jesus, in a personal prophecy when I was 12 years of age, promised me that one day I would have a church group of loved ones at an airport sending me off to go and preach the gospel to people as an evangelist. At 14 years of age I was molested and my life went downhill from there. From 17 years of age I have been addicted to sex workers save for three years when a wife made me more then happy, then left me divorced me and five years later stopped me seeing my son. Getting on top of that I soon had my first nervous breakdown and got myself a mental illness. Right now I have a few projects. The Lord has promised me a pulpit and a sermon I can preach on holiness when I am six months free of prostitutes. I am eagerly awaiting that pulpit.

As I passed 25 years of waiting for my promise, the time Abraham waited for his son, I was quite depressed. I looked back to the Bible for other men of the faith and my eyes went to Moses who waited forty years in the desert. I have for this past year been pondering this number and wondering if it will take fifteen years to really be full time in the ministry. Though much wisdom comes out of me, this year is a year dedicated to healing and a few projects as directed by the Lord. I turn forty in March, which also will be six months free of my addiction and praise God, I might get to preach the first sermon I ever preached again and be able to spend another thirty minutes sharing how I found repentance.

Let us go on.

Financial Crisis Looming
Self-insuring Time BombJust because you don’t want to talk about it, “doesn’t mean it isn’t there”. It’s there and it is not going away. I don’t like to dwell on a lot of statistics, but more of my experiences. What I am seeing is that there are more people needing long-term care than ever before. Why? We are blessed with an opportunity to live longer lives than ever before. Unfortunately, a statistic that cannot be ignored is that according the American Society on Aging 70% of people turning 65 will need some type of long-term care. The other, which I feel, is virtually unknown is that 70% of all married couples will have one partner need care. This one is the most compelling in my opinion because some married couples are living on a “hope and a prayer”. What I have witnessed is that some married couples have decided to “self-insure” meaning they will be their own insurance company and pay the bill out of their own pockets. The sad truth is this: You can’t take a couples liquid assets and divide them evenly “down the middle” so that one partner gets 50% and the other 50% because in all my years I have never seen both people need the same exact care for the same length of time. One will need more care than the other will. (Example-couple has worked to accumulate $300,000. One of them is stricken with an illness or accident that takes their “nest egg” down to $50,000. Now the surviving spouse hopes he or she doesn’t outlive the remaining “nest egg”. Therein lies the sad untold story that is played out repeatedly. Before you ask, “what is the total amount (assets) that a person should self insure”? That’s another discussion for another time, but what I have found is that is regardless of a person’s wealth it is a personal decision as to what they would like to do with their money. (I have a client that plans to leave $250,000 to his local SPCA, because of his late wife wishes). To each his own. I know that in my mother’s case her $15,000 savings was just as important to her as $100,000 is to someone else. She wanted her grandkids to have it!Two Delays“There are two delays that are affecting most people

Is Traditional Cable and Satellite Television Going Out Of Style?
Some consider it as something that is destined to happen while others won't even give it a fighting chance. As computers and technology evolve, more and more people are moving away from their television sets and spending their free time on computers. But, will the Internet ever be able to over-power cable and satellite television?It all started with emails. When free email accounts were made available to the public, people could not get enough of it. To be honest, the majority of people are still engrossed with the email phenomenon, all the way to the point where they will stop watching television just to read or write an email.Shortly after email came other Internet paradigms. Before you knew it, instant messaging programs, social networking websites, and an endless supply of online videos were reaching computers worldwide. With all of this entertainment at any online user's fingertips, what else could the Internet provide that could rival traditional cable and satellite entertainment?What about this: instead of finding alterative streams of entertainment aside from television stations, why not put those television stations right on the Internet? This is exactly what is currently going on and is slowly gaining in popularity. The question is whether or not it will be as popular as other Internet phenomenon's?As of now, people seem to like where Internet television is going. Take for example the online product at http://www.satellite-tv-for-your-pc.com. They offer to give you 3,000 different television and radio stations (including local, national and global channels) all for a one-time fee. No matter if you are into sports, news, movies, shopping, or anything else that you find visually entertaining, this company is willing to give it all to you without any recurring fees.Many people have already jumped on the bandwagon to gain access to these Internet television stations through mediums like http://www.satellite-tv-for-your-pc.com, but is it enough to consider standard cable and satellite television a thing of the past?

With these verses, and according to Isaiah 11:2, " The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord." There are seven spirits here. Countercheck according to Revelation chapter 3:1, "...he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, .....". You see wisdom is of God and he shouts in the streets, and because I meditated on these verses, I began to see how God talks to me even in the streets and daily life, I am not superstitious, but I truly have received his words in the streets. Here is a recent experience.

My recent visit to Taiwan last week, was with Jetstar Airlines, my arrival flight 3K-521, and departure return flight was 3K-522. On the last day of my trip, my daughter decided she wanted to visit the Taiwan Postal Museum in Taipei, Nan Hai road, so my wife and the 2 of us went to this museum, and my wife somehow thought of getting 3 post cards, 2 of the post cards had the number as follows: 080521, 080522, 080346, I was surprised because the first 2 cards were my flight number to Taipei and the return flight numbers. This seems like a coincidence, however, on the reverse side of the cards were the words" Cong Xi Fa Cai", which means congratulations and prosperity.

This hit my spirit and I knew somehow some great news on monetary matters were coming, and true enough when I returned home, one of my investments appreciated by as much as 20%. God is faithful and He talks to me using normal daily things which itself is supernatural. How can the numbers be such a coincidence, therefore I believe that I am walking in the precise Kairos timing of the Lord for Him to be able to send me news like this. The Angels must be working super hard to time things like this, to deliver me the news. Somehow I did not want to visit this museum because it was only a short spare of one hour before I departed to the airport, but I had the peace of God, so I went. You see things like this can be seen in verses Proverbs 21:1 " The king's heart is like the channels of the water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever he wishes." God touches people's hearts and they do what He commands, if only we humble to hear His promptings we will find the answers to our questions in mind. In this case, God used my wife to get me the message. Because the Lord says. " I will tell my servants things to come". and He did and He is very faithful even when we are not faithful. Praise the Lord Jesus for His faithfulness.

Please note, this is not an isolated case, I have had many such coincidences happen to me in the span of 10 years since I was born again. But I choose this most recent case to glorify the Lord. God has been communicating with me through answered prayers and even simple things like this. B

When a property owner does not pay his due against the property tax that he is liable, the government can place a lien against the property for unpaid income taxes. This can happen at both the Federal level and state level, depending on whether the owner lives in a state that collects state income tax.

These are the days of mobile telephony. A person at a distance is easily reachable from anywhere in the world, without the trouble of running to a telephone booth. Today, cell phones are a real necessity and no more an item of luxury. You may, therefore, like to take your cell phone to Lithuania when you travel to that country. But simultaneously, you would also be concerned about the expenses involved, which may be quite high, especially when you call internationally to get in touch with your business associates, friends and your family back home.
