What it does

Enter what you know about your story into a table on the spreadsheet.

(Part of the) Fill Ins table (click to enlarge)

The essentials of your Main character, Opposition and plot turn log line templates ...

(Part of the) Log lines table (with the defaults replaced with blanks so it's easier to see where the fill ins go)

into ten different log lines: one to several sentences that describe what your story is about.

Log lines filled in

By reading through the log lines you can see how the bits of your story interact with each other and how they flow. If the log lines read like half dozen stories thrown into a blender -- like the above! -- with the aid of questions ...

(A few of the) Main character questions

and lists (a sampling of what's available) ...

Fears and Motivations list (a bit of it)

Personality Traits list (some of it)

Values list (a really tiny part of it)

and the power of your own brain you can tweak the elements until they sound like a single story with elements that resonate with each other.

Once you've worked the log lines into reading like a story summary, then you can read through three detailed breakdowns of the story structure. (They're similar in essence, but different wording and details gives three different perspectives.)

After that -- or during if your brain needs a rest -- there's:

Characters Sheet
Your Main character needs a "team" to help her reach her goal and explore how best to live her life. The roles are here and help on giving them unique voices.

Theme Sheet
What's the Big Question your Main character is struggling with throughout the story? It can be teased out from some of what you already know. Expect to revisit this as you write since your Main character may discover better questions to ask as he goes along.

Also there are lists of ideas for values, traits, themes, and so on:

Fears and Motivations List (shown above) - A different view of values. Pulled from 45 Master Characters, a list of values that drive the choices that shape people's lives in big ways.

Values List (shown above) - A very large list of abstract values. Just because.

Personality Traits List (shown above) - A large list of personality traits organized by categories.

Themes and Topics List - A list of themes and topics, more as examples than to choose from.

Beliefs List - A list of beliefs to get your brain unstuck.

And, after you start writing:

Scene Template - The basic elements that each scene should have.
