Freewrite the specific story details that support each of these three truths for you (half a page each). DO not write a paragraph – just details!
Take a few minutes and write without stopping.
Write the details about the story connected with this “I Know” life belief; start where the story takes place. Describe this place in writing. What do you SEE? HEAR? Taste? Smell? FEEL?
Write about the people who will be in your narrative. Think about the way each one looks, acts, and speaks. Conversation or dialogue is a good way to draw your readers into the action.
List the main events of the narrative along a timeline.
