To hook people in, you know? How does ...

Archetypal Events – Staples in Devising Plot (part 4)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 20, 2017
So here we are after the brief intermission, back to talking about archetypes from our friend Jung.
As of course is natural, all stories have to have a plot in order to be engaging and be in a position to make their points and get them across because the alternative ...
