we will host this workshop on Discord. You are invited to post your responses to the Q&A in the comments section of this chapter or in the on our server and ask for feedback. You are also encouraged to provide feedback to others. As always, remember to be kind as well as constructive. Think of the type of feedback you would like to receive.
1. What would happen if . . .?
Think of this as your story's hook. Example: What would happen if a deceased lawyer was contracted to represent the devil as he petitioned to return to heaven?
2. Who is your main character and what do they want?
Here you introduce your protagonist and the stakes. Example: A crooked lawyer is sent to hell upon her death. She wants to win an 'impossible' case in order to absolve her sins and go to heaven.
3. What stands in the way of your character getting what they want?
Here is your conflict. Example: The devil is a real piece of work and the lawyer is no angel. Together they must find a way to change for the better and prove they are worthy to enter heaven.
