Glenna, the natural born witch, enters the scene in third place not far behind Cain. Therefore when needed he is still conveniently available, in the twenty first century, to fight for the worlds! He brings the vampire traits of strength, speed, far vision, extraordinary hearing and quick healing to the fight. Cain, Hoyt’s twin brother, was bitten back then and becomes a vampire. Capable of handling a sword as learned in his life in the past he enables the story to embrace the sword and sorcery branch of fantasy.Ĭain enters almost simultaneously with Hoyt in 1128 but does not become part of the story in this time. Hoyt is the initial character from the year 1128 and he embodies magical fantasy via his abilities as master sorcerer with powers given by the Morrigan. Happily she also has strong male characters and the two compliment and balance each other. Roberts is noted for including strong female characters. Residing in the otherworld, Tír na nÓg, at various times she steps out and appears to the various proponents in visions from which she conducts this tale.Ĭhanging from her cold, harsh historic mien, in this piece of modern literature she appears to exhibit more of her earth goddess roll in caring for the outcome of the worlds. Running like electricity through the story of the fight to save all worlds is the Morrigan the war goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann.

This transcends genre: Snyder has his own taxonomy for story types, almost any of which can be comedy, drama, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, etc. Chapter 2: Identify the kind of story.Your proof is the Logline: a synopsis of the basic premise which, at one sentence, may be even shorter than an elevator pitch. Chapter 1: Know what your story is about.First, he wants you to figure out a few things. Whereas Christopher Vogler’s THE WRITER’S JOURNEY is sprinkled with reminders that his advice is just a tool and your story doesn’t have to follow the mythic structure, Snyder prescribes 110 pages for a screenplay and lays out exactly what should be happening during each page range, sometimes down to a specific page.īut that’s after Snyder lets you start writing, which doesn’t happen until the end of Chapter 5 (out of 8 chapters!).

That is, until Lifetime’s new miniseries, Flowers in the Attic: The Origin. Yet the film adaptations have left much to be desired - filmmakers shied away from taking the source material as seriously as it has deserved. This disturbing five-book tale of incest, child abuse, generational trauma, and arsenic-laced donuts has aged like gothic wine in a blood-soaked barrel thanks to VC Andrews’s lyrical and compelling prose. Even those coming to the Flowers in the Attic series more recently go through the same shock as we younguns did back then. So many of us read the books way too young in the 80s and were forever marked by the twisted story.
