Assign [#HASHTAGS] For Future Searches
The process of revisiting and revising posts introduced in Step 4 and expanded in Step 8 now expands further to include frequent browsing of chapters 17 to 25 covering Steps 9 and 10.
Look for ideas and guidance to flesh in the setting, characterization, point of view, style, theme, tone symbols, to foreshadow pending events and to advance the plot in MHd1.doc.
Assign additional [#HASHTAGS] to diary entries to assist future searches and manipulation. Bare in mind that the diary may not be rewritten into a publishable version of your hero's story for many years and may possibly be written by a third party. The presence of tags will be much appreciated at that time.
Tags are useful to highlight:
-
which element of storytelling it falls under
[#characterization, #plot, #setting, #POV, #symbols, #style, #tone, etc.];
-
which character profile it refers to
[#hero, #mentor, #herald, #ally, #antagonist, #sage, etc.];
-
which stage of the hero's mythical journey it pertains to
[#normal_world, #call_to_adventure, #refuse_the_call, #consult_mentors, etc.].
With experience and understanding its usage, start making a practice of using [#HASHTAGS] when making original posts in MASTER_DIARY.doc.
Revisit the CHARACTER.doc and GOALS.doc frequently to expand further as your storyline emerges.
