This document provides guidance for developing a story plan in groups. It instructs writers to present their initial plan to their group for feedback on themes, characters, setting, plot, and style. The group then provides feedback on whether the plan seems interesting and what could be improved. Writers are then told to improve their plan based on this feedback by writing or typing something down within 10 minutes. Sample story openings are provided to demonstrate how to create hooks that show rather than tell action and introduce important details about characters and settings to pique audience interest. The process concludes with another round of group feedback and review of whether writers achieved their goals.
