Master Plot

The document provides guidelines for writing a story in 4 parts of 1500 words each. In the first 1500 words, the hero is given a problem to deal with which leads to a physical conflict. Unexpected plot twists are introduced. In the second part, the hero struggles with more challenges which result in another physical fight and surprising twist. The third part further complicates the hero's troubles and ends with a confrontation and an unexpected plot development where the hero is seriously disadvantaged. The fourth and final 1500 words sees the hero nearly buried under difficulties but uses their own abilities to extricate themselves. Mysteries are resolved during a final conflict, and a surprising final twist and punchline conclude the story.
