Act I

What is the event that forces your protagonist out of the status quo?

On this page, write the overall Conflict of your story in a single sentence.

Within that, your overall story Conflict can be further divided into its own Conflict, Choice and Consequence.

What is Act I’s Conflict?

What is Act I’s Choice?

What is Act I’s Consequence?

What is Act I’s theme? How does Act I forward the theme of your entire story?

In each of the three folders below, create text cards for each scene in your story that correspond to or forward the Conflicts, Choices, and Consequences in this section of your novel. You can duplicate the template scene card already provided, and use it as a guide.

Remember that you can reorder your scenes in any way you need, and they don’t need to be created in a linear fashion. You can further subdivide them into chapters if that fits your organizational style. You can even move them between sections if you need to, like any page in Notion.
