I was driving, listening to some nice music, and I thought to myself, "art takes us on flights of fancy"
Since then I'm taken with the idea of writing my next book on Storytelling
How the transformation of the hero uplifts us ... how narratives inspire us

Good Book Idea 👍💡
Artsy? Uplifts? Sounds like a new book about Hitler. 
Lol 😂 okay 👍
Things you wish your father would have done when you were a child
Relax, Vivi is not serious
I'm inclined to think otherwise. There's a lot of issues there.
Oh come on, let it slide if you mean it
She's not everyone's cuppa tea
It's Hitler saving a young boy. What;s the deal?
Bahahaha ... 😂😂
Your father didn't hug you enough
Please stop now, you're being very unpleasant
Vivi is my friend and I'm uncomfortable with your terse words
OMG, thanks for the sats!
See, basically, all storytellers focus on the mechanical aspects of storytelling, and very few talk about the psychological power / uplifting aspect of the transformative narrative
Your welcome. Yeah, sounds like a good idea, have your written other books?
Wow that's cool.
I seriously want to focus on the "uplifting" aspect of the hero's transformation
Like in Topgun, Pete goes from a reckless man with demons to a winner
I want to analyse the role of transformation in stories
oh like this heartful redeeming story
Bahahaha... 😂
Jokes aside, redemption is just one story angle
There are many that give you a discontented hero
Start with a discontented hero, put him through trials and tribulations that unnerve him to the point that he gives up all the little lies or fallacies that hold him back (moment of truth), and rises to the occasion
Topgun (1984) to my mind is the most perfect story told ... Maverick has ghosts of the past, loses Goose, but must give up all these fallacies to transform to a true hero to save a good man (Iceman)
It's the transformation that thrills the reader and gives her goosebumps
