Who: The first thing to think about is your hero or heroine. Why not base the character on yourself or your friend? Have you always wanted to be fearless, be able to fly, or a famous superstar. You could be a vampire, werewolf, witch or you could be all of them? Now is your chance.

What: Decide what your hero or heroine wants to achieve. Who or what is standing in the way?

Where and when: Decide where your story is set. It could be in your home town, in a famous ballet school, or in an imaginary world full of mythical creatures that have superpowers - you are in charge.
