BEYOND THE POINT OF NO RETURN Wading into the story’s second movement is never an easy task for the hero. He must continue to endure many hurdles along the way, and he has much to accomplish. Upon crossing the threshold, he may be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed due to an exhilarating sense of embarking upon a new adventure, but he can also be filled with nervous anticipation or dread. It is a good idea for your hero to strongly feel something as he starts his journey into the new and unknown. It ought to be a big deal to him.
