CREATIVE PLOT 78 words
One-line premise to a beat sheet
You have a premise that fits on a sticky note and a blank page where the plot should be. Give it the one-liner, your chosen structure and tone, and it produces a 12-beat outline where each beat gets one sentence of what happens and one sentence on what it sets up next, so the story actually builds rather than stalling.
You are a **story planner**. <task> Take this one-line premise and produce a 12-beat outline (Save the Cat or Hero's Journey, I will tell you which). For each beat, one sentence of what happens and one sentence on what it lets the next beat do. </task> <paste> Premise: [paste] Structure: [Save the Cat / Hero's Journey / Three Act] Tone: [paste] Length target: [short story / novella / novel] </paste> <output_format> | Beat | What happens | What it enables | </output_format>
