WRITING YOUR STORY
Now it’s time to jot down your story idea. Think about your character’s goal. Why is it their goal and how they’re going to get it? Think about their personality and how it controls how they think and feel and make decisions. Readers love a good character development. A great way to do this is think about your character’s mantra and make them break it. Have something happen to them that makes them go against their personality. Use the sheet below to help write down your ideas.
