Any good sources for 5 act stories or more?

[The Backlash Cometh]

I have the hero's journey, 3 act story down pat, but could use more structure ideas.

1. I have one that's 4 acts but not 5.

Got it from a workshop last summer. I'll send it to you if you're interested.

2. Absolutely. Would love to see it.

I'm learning that in a Memoir, there are no hardfast rules. I thought it was pretty neat when they explained that Eat, Pray, Love was actually three sets of three acts based on the hero's journey. Once someone reveals the formula, I know my story well enough to find the right scenes to plug them in place.

But my story needs at least five to seven acts, unless I do the same thing the author did with Eat, Pray, Love.

3. The Four Act I have works with the "hero's journey" turning points

I'll send it to you by e-mail, if that works.
