Produce a single Fiction Story, that holds together as a whole, but which we know is made up of many component parts. Provide a paragraph talking about this element and why you’re interested in pursuing it.
SETTING: Story HAS to be somewhere in the MIDDLE EAST (preferably Lebanon)
Central Conflict (plot) : What is the central conflict you want to unfold? Is it internal or external? IS it physical (disease, injury ), emotional (a difficult decision being made, a secret kept or divulged), between 2 characters (simmering resentments coming to the foreground)?
Main Characters: Who are the main characters? Try to think about what they look like physically, as well as what their temperaments are emotionally.
What is their main motivation? What are some of their central memories? What does this person most want?
What does this person most fear?
Some of this information won’t find its way directly into your story, but it will help you immensely when placing the character into the context of the events and will help you identify how this person might react to certain things.
Theme: What theme you most like to tackle?
*** REMEMBER: these elements will be informing one another somehow, so think about them IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER
Length: a paragraph or so
