Reductive Storytelling

There is only one story: 'The Hero's Journey'. Or there are seven stories. Or three. Or twenty. Or thirtysix. Or this is stupid, reductive nonsense produced for (and reproduced by) people who have trouble telling stories. I am tired of hearing about these theories and bored of seeing them implemented by people who fancy themselves 'creatives'.

As Roger Ebert used to say, "It's not what you're about. It's how you're about it."
