Who is my Character?
What do they want?
What’s stopping them?
{Repeat 4-6 for each major character}
What Genre’s am I considering?
What basic plot structure am I following?
What are the major events in the story?
What conflicts do I have planned?
Where will each of these conflicts take place?
How will the setting affect the outcome?
How does it end?
What’s the point? If there was only one thing the reader walks away with what would it be?
What do I need to know before I can write about it effectively? Do I need to look up definitions? Statistics? Clarifying details? Ect.
What sources am I going to use for research?
How is my research going to be organized for easiest reference?
What is my personal experience with the subject?
What point of view am I using?
Who is the target audience? What would they expect from this type of story?
What are my plans for the story after it’s finished?
