I attack first. I draw my blade and take a swing. You look rather confused. This confusion is justified as we are 40 ft apart in the middle of a showdown.

Questions I Ask Myself While Plotting a Story
- How do the characters’, especially the main character’s, choices make the situation worse?
- How can I demonstrate or show this thought/emotion/character trait with the character’s actions?
- Can I share this information without the characters just telling each other about it? Can I share it through action? (Inspired by KM Weiland)
- What does the main character want, and how are the other characters purposefully or accidentally in the way of that? (Inspired by a lot of professional writers. I can’t remember where I first heard it. Sorry.)
- What are the other characters, on and off screen, doing while this scene is going on?
- How do people’s normal desires and personality traits and past life lessons create conflict? How do two characters understand and react to the same information differently? What tension between them can that create?
- What is the worst thing that could happen? What’s the best thing that could happen, and how can I make it seem like the best thing is going to happen and then have it ripped away at the last second? (Inspired by Howard Tayler)
- What can I do to make this more interesting?
- What implications does this have for the rest of the story world? What questions does this raise?
Please add your own. I want to see the tools in your writing toolbox.

10. Where do I want the story to end up? Is it the same or different from the main character’s goal?
11. What scenes or pieces of information in the beginning of the story can come back in the end? What devastating or useful parts of the ending can have roots or hints in the beginning?
12. What do I want my audience to know that’s different from what my main character knows? How do I get them this information?
12.b how do I make sure they don’t find out what they shouldn’t?
13. What does the character want now, that gets in the way of what they want most?
14. What do they love? What do they fear?
15. What are the vices of their virtues?
16. What soul wounds are they hiding?
17. What things can they not see/understand no matter how often it is pointed out?
18. What can they not help but notice?
19. If I’m trying to plot out intrigue, what is the smartest, and most plausible, wrong guess their adversary could make about their plans given the things their adversary knows? 20. If I’m trying to plot out intrigue, what is the smartest, and most plausible, wrong guess they could make about their adversary’s plans given their available facts?
21. Whose perspective should I tell this story from? How does telling it from X character change the story? How does telling it from Y change the story?
I love all the additions!
22. For a mystery plotline, what pieces do the characters have to know to be able to figure it out? (Can’t remember exactly where I heard this one, sorry.) How can I plant red herrings, or have the truth hidden in plain sight? How can I make them work for the information they need? How can I have it delivered in exciting ways, or ways that cost the characters? What order makes the most sense to deliver it in, and how should they be spaced out?
23. What lie does the character believe, either about themselves or the world, that’s keeping them from progressing or being the person that can solve the main conflict? How do the other characters represent or reinforce the lie or show how it’s false? (KM Weiland)

Summer fades away with calm waves crashing in. Blaze is busy with public affairs at the governance building within the Sol Empire. Peace continues throughout the empire, but Blaze’s responsibilities as a princess have not disappeared. The lukewarm tea brewed by the guards should provide a moment of relaxation for her.
