and went through it, one character archetype at a type. I was looking for inspiration for my novel, as my heroine seemed insipid and stupid and my hero had a multiple personality disorder that confused even me.After reading about the mythic models, and the subsequent chapters on the male and female journey, I discovered what the problem was. My action-adventure romance was not a masculine journey - for all the blood and sex, it was a feminine one. Odd.
After reworking the female character and bringing back her father (sniff - I had a great coffin scene) so she could properly fulfill her role as a Nurturer, and beating my hero and telling him he had to pick one personality and stick with it, the book is in much better shape.
