Outlining A Novel: Act 1 The Ordinary World | "Alien Invasion Story" Part 1
Join me on this live lesson as I fill in the "Alien Invasion" story outline, which is coming along nicely. We have worked on the "27 Point Outline," character development, and added a little to the main and subplots. In this live lesson, I will focus on outlining in bullet points the first act, section one: the ordinary world. My goal is to map out the chapters and scenes of the story, specifically the narrative's ordinary world, the inciting incident, and the immediate reaction to the inciting incident. I will show you how I work out stories in real time while working on this completely original narrative in real time with you, the YouTube audience! It's all about working, growing, and rising together, to keep the creative flow growing as we develop "The Write Mindset."

This is the third installment of my video series on working with the shadow. I HAD intended to finish my series on the shadow today but it turns out there is so much material it will take a bit longer.
If you’ve listened to my first two videos (see the links below) then you know that I’m looking at Jung’s conception of the shadow archetype and investigating what we can, as writers, draw from it. I hope you don’t mind, but in the remainder of this series -- while I will still talk about the shadow -- I’m going to broaden my focus and look at the structure of the Hero’s Journey in the context of Jung’s work more broadly.
In that light, let’s ask a fundamental question: What is the hero’s goal? The hero is on a journey, so what is his goal? Where is he going? What does he want to achieve?

Thomas J. Bellezza was born in 1978 on Long Island, New York, and is a successful consultant in the entertainment industry. He is known for his speaking engagements, mentoring, and unwavering desire to help others with their creative endeavors and succeed in their careers. He is a student of human behavior and the process of becoming successful. For more than twenty years, he has been an important figure in his field, opening doors and giving people places to learn.
His journey began in the 90’s as an illustrator. From there, his career turned into a ten-year venture with his band TENEbRAE. Since 2007, he has developed multiple paths in his industry: from his music project, Altayon, to performing stand-up comedy, acting, and his career as a writer/author. As a writing consultant, he helps write, outline, and brainstorm story development and narrative fluidity. As a script doctor and story consultant, he works on scripts, books, and novels.
His mission to help educate people has led him to open up a nonprofit venture, Team Rise Together, with the motto of "work together, grow together, and rise together." This mission gives entertainers the chance to work together with other people who share their interests. As a team, these people will help each other improve their skills, learn about the industry, and understand their craft in the field so that they can move up in their careers together.
His debut poetry book, "SHE," was published in 2018 and is holding strong with 4.8 stars on Amazon. Currently, his next two books are in progress. His self-help book is in the hands of fantastic alpha readers, and his first three book fantasy series, "The Maven Wars," is in the outlining stage. In addition to writing, Thomas currently has a number of TV and film scripts in the works at BBR Productions. These projects will be made as part of the Team Rise Together mission.

His mission to help educate people has led him to open up a nonprofit venture, Team Rise Together, with the motto of "work together, grow together, and rise together." This mission gives entertainers the chance to work together with other people who share their interests. As a team, these people will help each other improve their skills, learn about the industry, and understand their craft in the field so that they can move up in their careers together.
His debut poetry book, "SHE," was published in 2018 and is holding strong with 4.8 stars on Amazon. Currently, his next two books are in progress. His self-help book is in the hands of fantastic alpha readers, and his first three book fantasy series, "The Maven Wars," is in the outlining stage. In addition to writing, Thomas currently has a number of TV and film scripts in the works at BBR Productions. These projects will be made as part of the Team Rise Together mission.

Jung and the Hero's Journey: The Ordinary World (Part 1)

This is the third installment of my video series on working with the shadow. I HAD intended to finish my series on the shadow today but it turns out there is so much material it will take a bit longer.
If you’ve listened to my first two videos (see the links below) then you know that I’m looking at Jung’s conception of the shadow archetype and investigating what we can, as writers, draw from it. I hope you don’t mind, but in the remainder of this series -- while I will still talk about the shadow -- I’m going to broaden my focus and look at the structure of the Hero’s Journey in the context of Jung’s work more broadly.
In that light, let’s ask a fundamental question: What is the hero’s goal? The hero is on a journey, so what is his goal? Where is he going? What does he want to achieve?
Yes, in every story the hero will have a different goal depending on what the story is. For example, in Star Wars IV, Luke’s goal was to deliver blueprints of the death star to the rebel alliance. In Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark Indie’s goal was to find the Ark of the Covenant and bring it home to the United States so it could be studied.
But is there a more general goal, a goal that all hero’s try to fulfill regardless of the specific story they find themselves in?
Perhaps.
Carl Jung writes:
“There are natural transformation processes which simply happen to us …. This "other being" is the other person in ourselves -- that larger and greater personality maturing within us …. This relationship is a mystery to the scientific intellect, because the intellect is accustomed to regard these things unsympathetically. ... It is the representation of a friendship between two men which is simply the outer reflection of an inner fact: it reveals our relationship to that inner friend of the soul into whom Nature herself would like to change us -- that other person who we also are and yet can never attain to completely. We are that pair of Dioscuri, one of whom is mortal and the other immortal, and who, though always together, can never be made completely one. The transformation processes strive to approximate them to one another, but our consciousness is aware of resistances, because the other person seems strange and uncanny, and because we cannot get accustomed to the idea that we are not absolute master in our own house. We should prefer to be always "I" and nothing else. But we are confronted with that inner friend or foe, and whether he is our friend or our foe depends on ourselves.” (Carl Jung, Vol 9 Part 1, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, papa. 234, page 130)
So there’s a lot to unpack there! I’m not a Jungian scholar but I take it that Jung, here, is expressing the thought that we are not just our consciousness, we are not just our Ego, we are also a (sometimes unfelt) Self.
I think that the goal of the Jungian Hero’s Journey is for the protagonist to confront that inner friend and get to know them as much as possible. In doing so we will come to know ourselves. Part of this journey, a necessary start to this journey, is integrating -- is shining a light upon -- the parts of ourselves that lie in shadow.
Okay, I just wanted to set that up. Now let’s step through a traditional story structure in three acts and see how it changes when examined through a Jungian lens.
And that's what this video is about! Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for reading. 😀
