2) Choose the theme, word, idea, character, or question that most intrigues you from what you wrote.
Green Giant



3) Turn the intriguing idea into a sentence in the form “(Character) wants (Goal) because (Motivation), but (Conflict).” Example: "A sneaky mouse wants to learn magic because it will let him become king of the mice, but the magic books are hidden away."

The Green Giant wants his village to survive the oncoming famine



4) Ask “What if…?” questions to improve your one-sentence story idea. Your mission is to create a main character you love, a very important goal with an admirable motivation, and a conflict that will force significant character growth.





5) Continue on to questions like “Who?”, “What?”, “Where?”, “When?”, “Why?”, and “How?” These should lead you to develop a setting, additional characters, and outcomes.
