| Outline #2- Due April 12th 1. What is the main contract of the story? You must resolve the promises you made to your reader by the end of the novel. The contract of the story is good versus evil. But how much more conflict there is than the black and white terms of these two things. That two characters that are on either the good or bad side aren't as simple as those terms. To show why someone might be 'bad' but that they still have goodness in them. 2. What sort of time pressure is working on your characters? Not really time pressure per se. They live over multiple timelines being born into new bodies as reincarnated souls. So, less of a timeline than most. But, they do tend to die pretty quickly after they meet each other. 3. What is at stake for the protagonist of the novel? Does the pressure on the main characters grow more intense as the story progresses? Well, we have the female character that is generally evil, or on evil's side. The pressure does grow more intense since she tries to be bad against the side of evil itself. She tries to do what she wants even if her job is something else. The pressure becomes more intense on the two of them.  . Determine your setting- I was given the idea of starting when they're born. But I'm thinking maybe when the consciousness starts happening in someone. Maybe around five years old or so between her and them? Then, jump ahead to teenager and adult which is where they can influence and do more than their child selves.  ________________________ _______________________________ Outline 1 Who is the main protagonist? A woman in some lives, man in other lives, basically a reincarnated soul that was first a woman. Now, she's a demon, or someone playing for the bad side looking to collect souls. We have her fated soul, who is a male first, but can be reincarnated as a woman too. He is generally on the good side of things. What is the situation? Two reincarnated souls are separated and rejoin every lifetime they live. Evil knows good, but good does not know evil. Both have a certain sort of charisma that can't be replicated in the recreating of a soul. They are special, wanted by both good and evil for their side. They want to make their own world. Not quite bad, or evil, but rather just challenging enough to be a better person in the afterlife. But not tortured for the rest of your existence. Might be a grim reaper as a friend of both of them. How will the protagonist change from the beginning of the novel to the end? Our main character is selfish, easy to anger, untrusting, and a pain in the ass. She softens thanks to the male character. What is her/her objective? To take as many souls for the side they are on as possible. How do they do this? By basically influencing the world of the living while they are in it. Evil is a little more blatant. Good is a lot more subtle. What does he/she want? The other, they want to be with each other. But when they meet, someone tries to kill them in that lifetime. Then, they gotta replay serendipity to find each other. How does he/she get or not get what they want? Each other. Is there an opposing force that is stopping the protagonist from achieving this objective? The devil, the good side, the reaper who has to keep collecting souls and moving them to different sides. What is the central conflict of the novel? Good vs. evil. What about the central theme—what are you trying to say? That good isn't as easy as being good. And evil isn't as easy as being bad. That we are all a mixture of goodness, and wrongness, we gotta decide where to go with it. |

That's my happy face at having a second pair of eyes besides my own, well, besides my glasses which makes it six then. I am always a fan of your reviews and improvements you give me. *nudge, nudge, starts hacking*
