Six easy questions to help guide your story

A quick test to figure out if our story makes sense:

  • Who is it about? Introduce the main character.
  • What do they want? Gives us the goal, and poses the dramatic question: will they get what they want?
  • Why can’t they get it? Obstacles make stories interesting.
  • What do they do about that?
  • Why it does not work out?
  • How does that end?
