  • Hi Ercwylie - Best tip I can give you is make sure you know what your characters wants and the story is about what they do to get their want. It can be an internal or external want but the story moves forward when we see the steps they take to get to where they want.
    I always start a play with a question, an example is for my new play that will be on at the Royal Court called belong the question for the lead character is Where do I belong?
