I'd go insane sticking to one particular structure.

Besides which, the "hero's journey" as commonly adapted for commercial use is based on a Disney memo on Star Wars as analyzed by a foont named Vogler who wished to half-include Joseph Campbell's theories in The Hero with a Thousand Faces so as to introduce that quasi-mystical, quasi-Jungian variable which lapsed gnostics and wistful agnostics know and crave -- all of which has been used and recycled so often that post-Journey movies all feel like processed pudding delivered in the same familiar box.

I try to modify and destroy familiar structures whenever possible (unless I'm co-writing a screenplay and being forced to adhere).
