Print this worksheet on its own. The print view removes the site header, menus, footer, and page navigation. For a clean PDF, turn off browser headers and footers in the print dialog.

Use when you know the charge but need a scene engine.

Quick Diagnosis

  • You know the emotion, but not the container.
  • The scene lacks a mechanism for friction.
  • The premise is familiar and needs character-specific stakes.
