United, Affirmed, Transformed
The hero at the end of the story is either,
united,
affirmed,
or transformed.
United with the one they love, with the long lost friend, even with a great treasure.
Affirmed in their identity, being told they have what it takes, that they are good enough.
Transformed into a better person, a person with new depth and character.
When someone engages with you and your work, what happens at the end? What will they feel, will they feel a sense of being united, affirmed, or transformed. Figure it out and then tell them that that is what is at stake.
Get skin in the game, tell better stories.
