Setting as plot

Stories need action. And something needs to make this action happen.

Someone dies. Someone wins money. Someone falls in love.

There are plenty of options to find your plot.

Sometimes, however, your plot can be as easy as your setting.

Put a country girl in the great outdoors. Put a farmer on the moon. Put a self-centred young adult in a daycare.

All stories need plot, but sometimes, your setting can drive your plot. Don't hesitate to put your characters somewhere unexpected to get or keep your story moving.
