CWP Getting Started…
(brief) Plot Outline • What do I know? • What do I care about? • What is the central conflict? • Map it out!
Audience • Who will I “market” this story to?
Character Types • Protagonist/Antagonist • Flat/Round • Dynamic/Static • Stock
Point of View • “who” is telling my story? • What impact will different POV have?
Setting • Where/when is this happening?
A few things to keep in mind… • Appropriateness? • Be an original • Keep me (and each other) out of it • Avoid the Steven Seagal/Chuck Norris syndrome: stuff blows up, people die, the dialogue stinks, and the audience gets dumber as we read
