I can't say I am a professional at this... Or that I know how to write a premise perfectly. I just want to share with you what I have learned and give your story a boost. It sure gave me a boost.
Here is one of the premises I did for my West Rover story:
I still might work on it some more later.
๐Here are each of the lessons on Write Practise; do go and watch the videos they are so worth it. If you would rather have them in you inbox to watch later I can forward the lessons to you.
Lesson 1
Lesson 2
Lesson 3
๐So for a premise you have three structures. You want it to be short and explain you story.
You want the (1) Protagonist; my premises protagonist is the Daring adventurer.
next your (2) your protagonist's goal; my adventurer wants off the island with his whip and the Book.
next (3) a crisis/ antagonist; mine is the long time enemy and finding the hidden treasure with out dying.
๐If you want a work sheet for writing your premise you might find it on the website or I can email it to you.
Here are some other Premises I have started working on:
⇢This is a premise to my first story The Mystery of Jenkins Treasure:
A girl sleuth has a knack for solving mysteries along with three boys.
They find mystery in their own town. Helping a detective they must put the pieces together and
find a thief before he gets away.

⇢The next book The Historian's Secret:
The girl sleuth is in DC just for a vacation while she thinks she will miss out on a mystery.
The mystery is closer than she realized.
Along with the boys, they trek new ground in this big city and have bigger villains to catch,
and all before a museum is robbed.

It is! It helps get a story thought out. :)
DeleteOoo, I’ve never really heard about this before - it’s very interesting! I should do that for a story idea I've been mulling around in my head. Great post!
ReplyDeleteYou should try it out! It helped me hope it helps you! Thanks Nicole!
DeleteIt definitely helps to remember your story for later to write a premise, but by the time I actually ever write my story, I stray so far from the actual premise that by the time I write "The end" they hardly resemble one another ;d

Yes, also it should keep you on your story path. If you listen to the lessons he will talk more about how a promise can help. If your story changes it changes. I understand that. In planning my story things can change with my ideas. :)
DeleteI haven't written a premise for any of my stories, but I'll try it out!
ReplyDeleteIt can take a lot of thinking to narrow a story down. Hope you have fun and it helps your writing!
