Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Structural Roles


Previously you have chosen archetypes (structural roles) for your characters.  Now you need to describe how the audience will be shown which role each character fulfills.  Again, use specific examples, scenes or dialogue.


The best way to do this, of course, is to build those examples around other story points.  Show how each character's role determines how they respond to and are affected by other story points you have developed.  This will help integrate the actions of your characters into the overall unfolding of your story.


You task in this step is to describe how you will reveal to your readers the structural roles of each of your characters.
