Stuck?

ℙ 1 — Start your story at home, at school, or at a park. It’s an ordinary day.

ℙ 2 — A message arrives that changes everything! This is your mission!

ℙ 3 — You pass through a portal or a door, or over a bridge, that takes you from your ordinary world into a different world.

ℙ 4 — You are tested. You need to prove something (strength?) or get something (armor?) .

ℙ 5 — THE BIG CHALLENGE! You fight a dragon! You win the race! You rescue a person or animal! You discover the secret!

ℙ 6 — You win something (gold or confidence, jewels or new powers). You complete your mission!

ℙ 7 — You return home, to ordinary time. How are you different? What have your learned? What can you give people that you couldn’t give before?
