Think of these things when building a story?
- 2 to 3 characters (make them 3d characters)
- the world they inhabit (the rules, the era, government, etc.)
- the future technology (how does it work, why is it used, what impact does it have on your world?)
- conflict. (What was the status quo/starting situation of the world? What took place that made the character go on an adventure?)
