Original story brief: a character wants to avoid reading aloud a promised speech; obstacle: a friend waits to introduce the speaker. Possible decision: ask for support and begin; consequence: finish a shorter honest speech. Possible early detail: the paper shakes at its corner. Develop one connected conflict rather than adding unrelated spectacle. Planning lines below are not the full story: use the working pad or separate paper for a one-page draft.
