Click the button to generate a story premise. The premise is a simplified version of the template used by Blake Snyder in his fantastic book, Save the Cat! In this template, which was designed for screenplays but works just as well as a guide for novelists, a good premise must include the following: |
On the verge of a Stasis=Death moment, a flawed protagonist |
has a Catalyst and Breaks Into Two with the B Story |
but when the Midpoint happens, he/she must learn the Theme Stated |
before the All Is Lost, to defeat (or stop) the flawed antagonist (from getting away with his/her plan). |
