Starter outline prompt + example

Create a 5-beat outline using three-act logic. Tone: hopeful. POV: third person limited. Words: 1400–1700. Premise: [one sentence]. Include goal, stakes, conflict per beat.

Example premise: A middle-schooler hears music no one else can.

Expected outline beats: setup (secret music), tension (tests + isolation), turn (friend hears it once), fallout (choice to chase it), ending (own the gift).

Scene prompt + example beat

Draft Scene 1. Two concrete sensory details. Keep paragraphs under 4 sentences. End on a decision.

Example ending: She decides to follow the faint drumline after school.

Dialogue booster + example

Rewrite dialogue with subtext. Each character wants a different thing. Use interruptions and props; keep tags minimal.

Before → “Are you okay?” “Yes.”
After → “You keep tapping.” “Do I?” (She hides her wrist under the notebook.) “It’s fine. You’re fine.”
