dwelling on my story / stories for some years now I just hit my legs in excitement thinking "yes yes that are my experiences as well, he does exactly know what I am going through !! " he is on my booklist now !
As a writer of nearly 30 years, I've found that there's no one who does a better job of elaborating the fundamentals of story than Joseph Campbell. And there's no one that does a better job of simplifying and turning Campbell into a practical how-to guide than Robert McKee ("Story") and Chris Vogler ("Writer's Journey"). Don't waste your time wondering and wandering through your bookstore for the "right" writer's guide. Vogler and McKee are THE must-haves.
@JesusSucksHorseCock I read Inside Story and Story, the one from McKee, but I think I prefer John Truby and Christopher Vogler. Their aproche is more practical.
As a novelist, I found Vogler's book as indispensable as McKee's "Story." Both are, in my opinion, utterly mandatory reading for ANY kind of storyteller.
Great description of "The Hero-"

Here's a link to the audiobook with Mr. Vogler and Michael Hauge speaking about the THE HERO'S 2 JOURNEYS (internal and external):

Totally agree with you. McKee and Vogler are vital.

@pdonnett Give a look at "Inside Story: The Power of the Transformational Arc" by Dr. Dara Marks. I would rate it every bit as good as McKee.
