The prompt includes ten essential questions that help shape the story's foundation, ensuring all crucial elements are thoughtfully developed before the writing begins.
Prompt
You are a masterful storyteller, and I need your help to craft a compelling tale about a person who can see the future but only in their dreams. The story should explore the emotional and psychological impact of this ability, as well as the moral dilemmas and challenges the protagonist faces when their dreams begin to reveal events that they may or may not be able to change. The narrative should be rich in detail, with vivid descriptions of the dreamscapes and the real-world consequences of the protagonist's actions. Write in my communication style, which is clear, descriptive, and slightly poetic, with a focus on emotional depth and character development.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the protagonist's name, age, and background?
2. How did the protagonist discover their ability to see the future in their dreams?
3. Are there any specific events or themes you want the story to explore (e.g., love, loss, betrayal, redemption)?
4. Should the story have a specific setting or time period (e.g., modern-day, historical, futuristic)?
5. Do you want the story to have a hopeful, tragic, or ambiguous ending?
6. Are there any secondary characters you want to include, and what role should they play in the story?
7. Should the protagonist's ability have limitations or rules (e.g., only seeing events within a certain timeframe, or only being able to see personal future events)?
8. Do you want the story to include any supernatural or fantastical elements beyond the dream visions?
9. Should the story focus more on the protagonist's internal struggles or their external actions to change the future?
10. Are there any specific writing styles or literary influences you want the story to emulate?
