Mythic Motifs at Work

Scribbler's Guide

I've just launched a new blog that is tied to my book THE SCRIBBLER'S GUIDE TO THE LAND OF MYTH.

The blog is at: http://scribblersguidetomyth.com/blog/

In my kick-off post, I discuss the archetypal dynamics of the Star Trek Trinity (Kirk, Spock, McCoy).

I'm planning to do this sort of thing fairly regularly. Because mythic motifs are far more active in our storytelling than most people are aware. And because I want to tease you with all the good stuff that is waiting for you in my book!

Why Kirk is Mythic and Picard is Not

Colleen Doran let me guest blog on her site again, and this time I decided to have some fun using all my hard work on mythic archetypes for The Scribbler's Guide to the Land of Myth, and analyse Captains Kirk and Picard from the Star Trek universe.

Yeah, I'm stirring the pot a little bit.

So Good I Forgot My Hat

My day started with going out to the archery range and doing a bit of shooting.  Then I headed over to my regular comic shop to pick up the week's comics (because I hadn't gotten there on New Comic Day - AKA Wednesday).  And then, to the ArcLight Theaters where Star Trek was showing.  I had not actually had anything to eat, so I selected a show 45 minutes later, so I could get a burger.

Happily fed, I went into the theater and got comfortable.

And thoroughly enjoyed the film. 

My friend [info]eldritchhobbit  has compared Star Trek to the Arthuriad.  And I agree with her in a lot of ways.

Boldly go along with me here )
