Today we will develop characters, inventing a setting, developing relationships and conflicts, and finally creating a novel outline.
Ask for Setting Ideas:
Imagine a vivid, interesting and unique world in a far future science fiction setting. This is a place of wonder with futuristic technologies and a society that has evolved far beyond our own. This setting should be distinct from those seen in popular fiction and franchises, with a gritty realism and epic scale. Provide three 1-page descriptions of different settings and I will pick one for our story.
Ask for Character Ideas:
Write 5 short, 1-paragraph character descriptions. These descriptions should be of random people one would see in a crowded science fiction city. Include a sentence or two describing their environment which can be anyplace in the city or the nearby spaceport. Each character should be unique, with a distinct background, personality and goal.
Expand Character Ideas:
Given these characters, and the setting I have chosen, expand on each of them suggesting, names, occupations, roles, beliefs, goals, where they live and what they are doing here.
Brainstorm Character Relationships:
For the characters we discussed and the setting I have chosen, imagine the relationships between these characters, and the conflicts that will arise given their competing goals and beliefs.
