1. What would happen if . . .?
Think of this as your story's hook. Example: What would happen if a deceased lawyer was contracted to represent the devil as he petitioned to return to heaven?
2. Who is your main character and what do they want?
Here you introduce your protagonist and the stakes. Example: A crooked lawyer is sent to hell upon her death. She wants to win an 'impossible' case in order to absolve her sins and go to heaven.
3. What stands in the way of your character getting what they want?
Here is your conflict. Example: The devil is a real piece of work and the lawyer is no angel. Together they must find a way to change for the better and prove they are worthy to enter heaven.

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
