Story notes

As requested.
-
Protagonist- main character- has to want SOMETHING
Antagonist- "villain"/opposition
    *There must be a barrier between Protagonist and SOMETHING.

~Complexity~
    -Character's needs do not equal wants
    -Protagonist changes the most
  -EMPATHY-

Now, ACTS in a PLOTLINE.
Act 1: Status Quo state of circumstance
    *Thus, when change occurs, audience recognizes it
  -Inciting Incident: the thing that happens to character or the thing that character does that forces them out of the status quo.

Act 2: Majority of story ("why we came")
    Journey of character (figuratively or literally) towards the goal/breaking point

Act 3: Resolution
    "Brings the dark night back to day (most of time)"
