Quick Launch
Page 2 of 4 | What You Need | Story Elements | You Must Work Out | Once You've Finished |
You'll need the following story elements. In case you have trouble thinking of your own, I have some examples to get you started. But I always encourage you to use your own ideas, if you have them.
| Story Elements | |
|
An idea – the premise, the basic thought around which the story will turn |
|
|
A setting – a world for your story to take place in; it can be familiar, or wholly new |
|
|
Characters – two or three, at least, to people your story |
|
|
Aliens – (optional) strange and mysterious beings for your characters to encounter |
|
|
Problem – something your characters want, need, must escape from, etc. |
