Here we are, Day 7 in the worldbuilding series and it's time to cover STORY ARCS.

What is the overall path your story will take from beginning to end and over the course of several books? To learn this aspect of worldbuilding is to learn the skill of overlapping and connecting the growth of your characters, to dramatically increase the complexity and realism of your story.

In today's episode, Jaime takes a brief look at one of the most used story arcs in fantasy fiction: The Hero's Journey...using The Lord of the Rings as the example.
