I saw this today and, having just finished the first draft of a children’s horror novella, it did make me smile. I miss every single criterion from this graphic: my hero is very flawed, this journey is less than heroic, my antagonist isn’t ruthless – well, not totally amoral, and I apparently forgot to include Basil – the time travelling archaeologist snake.
And despite all these flaws, I love what I have done so far. I know it is a first draft – my vomit draft, I call it – but I’m pleased with what has come out.
Now to redraft and improve.
