The 6 essential questions
1. Who is it about?
2. What did they want?
3. Why can't they get it?
4. What did they do about it?
5. Why doesn't that work?
6. How does it end?
Kinda similar to the four David Mamet questions from his infamous memo:
1) What does your hero want? (GOALS)
2) Who/What Stands in their Way? (OBSTACLES)
3) What happens if they don't get it? (STAKES)
4) Why Now? (TIME/SITUATION)
Pat Alexander i was really over thinking everything!! this just made it more easy for me to stop thinking and start writing because i have my key points and vision of where it needs to go (:
THANKS
