STORY

What are you trying to say?

Keep. It. Simple. Stupid

• Explain your idea in one sentence

• What is it about?

• It’s Not what will happen in your story

• Is there a theme?

• Character GOALS (What is character trying to achieve?)

SHOW don’t TELL I don’t wanna know

• Show us what the character would do rather than tell it

• What is the character’s emotion? Give hints rather than saying

• Decide on emotions

• Thinking LEADS to Conclusion

• Emotion LEADS to Action

Do IT propererly!

The Whole Point is… Questioning your OPINIONS
