4. Planning your fiction story

No unread replies.55 replies.

Use this forum to map out your plans for the fiction story. In the fiction lesson, we discussed the plot diagram and the fact that most characters begin the story in pursuit of something. They are motivated to act in one way or another only to have obstacles occur along the way that complicate the story and make it more difficult for them to reach their goal. (Not all stories are this way, so don’t worry if you have something different in mind.)

I want you to write a short synopsis here of your main character, what motivates them in the beginning of the story, and what plans you have to create complications and suspense as the story progresses.
