Wandita

Wednesday, October the third - Plot: Beginning

Oct. 03: - Plot: Beginning (Where does your story start?) ▼

(1) Describe your protagonist's life in the beginning ("Ordinary World" or "Stasis") of the story. Brainstorm ways you could establish normality through action and dialog to avoid boring your reader.
At the beginning of this novel, Wandita is about to solve another problem, her way. It’s only after she head for her home planet of Unnion that she gets asked to check into another possible problem. Which she isn’t sure that she wants to take. After all, it doesn’t sound like it’s her kind of problem to solve.
(2) Describe the inciting incident or trigger ("Call to Adventure") that prompts your protagonist(s) to embark on this story's journey (whether literal or metaphorical) and face the conflict. This incident could be large and obvious like a death or disaster, or it could be seemingly insignificant, such as an offhand comment by another character.
As soon as Wandita gets asked to check out the possible problem she can’t stop thinking about it. Only that’s just one reason why she ends up doing it. Before she is asked they send in a spaceship to check it out. That spaceship never returned or contacted them. One of the passengers on that spaceship used to be very close to Wandita, very close.
