	<description><![CDATA[In this episode, we’re finally putting the Hero’s Journey to rest and bidding farewell to Christopher Vogler’s “The Writer’s Journey.” And by “putting to rest,” we mean cramming the entire second half of this doorstop of a book into one episode. Renee takes one for the team by distilling each chapter down to its least painful bits. Then we’ll zoom out to discuss what we actually found valuable in this tome and offer our candid recommendations on how to approach reading it.

For the second half, we’re pivoting to something that won’t collect dust on your shelf—our new mini-series on AI and its invasion of the writing world. Do chatbots mean the end of the craft of writing, or can we humans somehow incorporate the AI’s as tools to improve our stories? Today, we’re just examining how alarmingly far AI has advanced since our last tech episode two years ago (spoiler: it’s terrifying).

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.]]></description>
