7 steps

Truby explains seven key steps of story structure in his book. I wrote down my seven steps but they have been changing slightly as I go along with the progression of my story. I keep figuring out things as I go along. So here there are, any suggestions are welcome. I also changed my premise around too because I cant seem to get the right one. This is it so far, it seems the most logical.

Premise- A routine data chip injection for J turns out to be the discovery of "Purple Lights" throughout the city.

1.     weakness and need

weakness- Her attitude, trust issues, and carefree-ness

need- To overcome the obstacles put in her path due so she can find out what happened to her.

2.     desire- To help R.A.I.S with their inner issues so she can find out what happened to her.

3.     opponent- Sam

4.     plan- J’s plan is to get close to Sam and have her teach about R.A.I.S to get an inside look.

5.     battle- J exposes Sam for what she really did, defeating her and getting deeper into R.A.I.S

6.     self revelation- J realizes that she needs to open her eyes, change her attitude and get to the bottom of the changes in her life or she’ll lose it.

7.     new equilibrium- After the fall of Sam, she discovers a new found friendship with the operatives in R.A.I.S and will make the decision whether or not to become one.
