Translate Your Story Idea Into the Version That Is Actually Interesting to Someone Else
Your idea makes complete sense to you. The problem is that you are already inside it. This translates the writer's version into the reader's version: what they need to care, what the story is actually about underneath the subject, and the one sentence that makes someone want to know what happens.
