WHAT IT IS: The Ordinary Day to Extraordinary Story Workbook will help you get the three most important elements of a successful opening chapter on the page: your protagonist’s Status Quo, External Goal, and Internal Need.
WHY IT MATTERS: You get one chance to hook your reader and convince them to go on the adventure of your book. That means you have to get them up to speed on who the protagonist is, what they want and why they want it, and what it is they really need to learn very quickly.
HOW THIS CAN HELP: In the Ordinary Day to Extraordinary Story workbook, you’ll start by getting clear on your protagonist’s Ordinary Day – what your protagonist is thinking, hoping, and planning on the day before they walk onto the page, including their External Goal. This will shine a light on what needs to happen to shake up their Status Quo, upturning everything they thought they knew and wanted and revealing their Internal Need. Then you’ll craft the just-right story problem that leads to the escalating stakes you need to answer that question, what happens next?
My three-step process for crafting a compelling story problem
36 writing prompts that will help you “see” your protagonist on the day before they step onto the page and get clarity on what will most effectively shake up their Status Quo
A guide to crafting your North Star Statement that will keep you on track as you draft and revise
A case study, so you can see the steps in action on a successful story
