I'm pleased you enjoyed this post. I ...Hi David<br />I'm pleased you enjoyed this post. I generally include fairytales with myth but for this post wanted to explore some of their distinctive traits. My previous post is about writing myth, as will be the next couple of posts as there's so much to discuss about mythic elements in story and mythic structure, as well as the purpose and value of myth. I agree that myth is vital to the psyche.<br /><br />all the best, RosieDr Rosie Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988518840376585225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120117321989768574.post-79401931458305617142012-06-24T20:02:57.563-07:002012-06-24T20:02:57.563-07:00I find the idea of incorporating myth into my writ...I find the idea of incorporating myth into my writing very appealing. I had not thought of it in terms of fairy tales, though I use a rather broad definition of myth, so that I might include fairy tales within the term, at least sometimes. I think of myth as a way of seeing the world, so as to help us make some sense of it and find our place in it, and in that regard, I think myth is an inherent necessity to the human psyche, regardless of the time we live in. So in some ways (though perhaps deeper and more hidden than you're discussing here) all writing must use these psychological necessities.<br /><br />I enjoyed your discussion.<br /><br />David Hutto (writeortakeanap.wordpress.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
