Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Personal Goals

Earlier, you developed personal goals for each of your characters.  At a personal level, the main Story Goal may be seen by them as just the means to an end of accomplishing their own goals.

In this step, describe how you let your readers learn the nature of each character's personal goal.

Don't forget to jot down any additional instances that come to mind where characters' personal goals come into play after they have been revealed.

Especially consider creating scenarios in which you can fold other story points into the same event, moment, or conversation.
