Ed Zwick Reveals the Untold Secrets of Screenwriting in a Captivating Tweetstorm
Here is where the hero’s journey matches up with the writer’s journey. For just as a character’s outer journey in the physical world of space and time is “fundamentally” an inner journey into their psychological world of hopes and fears, so, too, ours as writers. As Zwick suggests, the characters in our stories “pre-exist and must be found within you.”
That is the key to writing personal stories. And that is the key to engendering an emotional connection between the audience and our story’s characters.
