Take a sentimental journey with Mr. Jarvis through Dickens' A Christmas Carol , a perfect example of the Internal Transformation story. Mythological archetypal qualities make for great characters. You can't write a good story if all you have is a list of plots. And you can't write a good story if you have a lot of good ideas but no sound structure. Mr. Jarvis explains.

See whether you agree. And read about a man who discovered the significance of one when writing the Premise of a story. See why they make that mistake. Find out a bit of history about the Jarvis Method. Policy Though Story and Myth is now defunct, articles are being accepted for StoryTeller.
