So what exactly do I mean by Origin Story?
Think of those superheroes you know, and other characters of course. Ponder how and why they became who they are.
Maybe you’re Bruce Wayne, forever wanting to make something right. Or you might relate more to Aeriel, The Little Mermaid, who yearns for a different life and makes sacrifices for love!
You don’t have to be battling The Joker or hanging out with a fish called Flounder to have an origin story. We can all look back at our lives and consider the moments that changed us – for good or ill.
Readers want to hear about your transformation. The early years and events that formed and reformed you – to become who you are today.
I will give examples and explain how you can look at your own story, and transformation, in this new and enlightening way.
