FSN - Day 6 - Your Story's Premise

[ladyseishou]

Day 6 - 25 days until the start of NNWM




Perhaps today’s exercise would be better called “proto” premise as we’re only trying to put together our answers from the last couple of days and write out a scenario or two to try on our characters next week.

Think of your premise (also called a logline by scriptwriters) as the TV Guide description for your story, almost bare bones, just one or two lines with still a little something that shows off your special spin on the story.

So take ten or fifteen minutes and write down what ( your_story_is_about… )

Here’s the “proto” premise for my story idea (25 words):

A London detective, assigned a prostitute’s murder, discovers the victim was a changeling and must solve the case before the Fairy King exacts horrific retribution.
