#WordWeavers 4/4. Is there writing advice you used to follow but changed your mind?
Well I dumped the Hero's Journey after my first book because it was far too limiting.
And have since learned that it is, in fact, complete BS (that's apart from it being euro-centric, racist and sexist).
As someone else said, it's more an evolution.
