Help me develop an idea into a full story
A ready-to-use “Creative & Storytelling” AI prompt template, designed and tested with Sudowrite. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.
Prompt template
I have a story idea — be my creative partner and develop it: 1) help me clarify what the protagonist wants and what stands in the way; 2) propose 3 different directions for me to pick; 3) once I choose, outline the story (setup, development, turn, resolution); 4) at key plot points, ask me "what if..." to spark ideas. The core creativity is mine to decide. My idea: "describe your idea"
How to use this prompt
