How to Use Archetypes to Make Your Story Better

Archetypes could be the key to taking your novel to being a classic.

Some people think it’s creating stereotypes, boring and cliche, and something a professional writer doesn’t do.

Well, it depends on how you’re using them.

Overall, archetypes are a way of getting clear. The roles of your various characters and even small side characters can be archetypes. Everyone in the book could be an archetype because you’re clarifying to the reader who this person is and their position in the book.

In this episode, Lana McAra walks you through a whole host of archetypes and gives you a sort of menu to choose from, including how to mix and match the portions.

Having an understandable structure to your story and recognizable archetypes for your characters helps make your fiction writing become #Unputdownable.

With each character and each setting, hundreds of details must be compiled and organized – far too many for a writer, like you, to keep them cataloged in your brain.
