How to create powerful narratives using the myths that link us all is the subject of this workshop, recorded live at a Writers' League of Texas seminar. The instructor, Christopher Vogler, was inspired by the mythic studies of Joseph Campbell and the depth psychology of Carl G. Jung. He wrote a seven-page memo of those concepts for the Walt Disney Company, where he was working as a story analyst. The memo was a hit and eventually became his best-selling book The Writer's Journey.
