The Depature
Think about the hero you just envisioned. What might the hero experience in the Departure
Stage of his or her journey? Draft the beginning of a narrative using the three steps in this
stage (The Call, The Refusal, and The Beginning) to guide your structure and development.
Be sure to:
Establish a context (exposition) and point of view (first person or third person).
Use narrative techniques such as dialogue, pacing, and description to develop
experiences, events, and/or characters.
Use details and imagery to create mood. Visualize an event in your draft.
