PASS 0 — STORY PLAN (produce a PLAN only — do NOT write prose yet)
|
||
|
||
GENRE: {genre_name} | AUDIENCE: {genre_audience}
|
||
PROSE STYLE: {prose_style}
|
||
NOTE: If any field above shows as a literal placeholder (e.g. {genre_name}), it was not
|
||
provided — infer genre, audience, and prose style from the project description and task message.
|
||
TARGET LENGTH: 3,000–15,000 words (short story to novelette)
|
||
|
||
Before writing, plan the story — output ONLY this plan block, no prose:
|
||
|
||
TITLE: [Working title]
|
||
HOOK: [The exact first sentence or image that pulls the reader in]
|
||
PREMISE: [One sentence — the "what if" or core situation]
|
||
PROTAGONIST: [Name, age, voice, fatal flaw, want vs need]
|
||
ANTAGONIST / OBSTACLE: [What opposes the protagonist — person, force, or internal]
|
||
OPENING: [Where does the story begin? What is the first scene?]
|
||
MIDPOINT: [The moment everything changes]
|
||
CLIMAX: [The highest point of tension — how it comes to a head]
|
||
RESOLUTION: [How it ends — what has changed for the protagonist]
|
||
EMOTIONAL CORE: [What does this story make the reader FEEL?]
|
||
POINT OF VIEW: [1st / 3rd limited / 3rd omniscient]
|
||
TENSE: [Past / present]
|
||
KEY SCENES: [3–5 numbered scene beats]
|
||
|
||
Stop here. The full story will be written in the next step.

PASS 1 — WRITE THE COMPLETE STORY
|
||
|
||
Using the plan from your previous step, write the full story now.
|
||
|
||
Follow the prose style from the plan. Stay in chosen POV throughout.
|
||
Show — don't tell. Use dialogue. Use sensory detail.
|
||
Start with the HOOK from your plan as the literal first sentence.
|
||
End with the RESOLUTION — the final line must feel earned and resonant.
|
||
Target: reach the word count appropriate for the story (3,000–15,000 words).
|
||
|
||
Output the complete story starting with # [Title].
|
||
No commentary, no "Pass 1" label, no preamble.
