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?

~ Step 135 ~



Theme - Act One Ending


In this step, select from your act one thematic illustrations the scenarios you wish to explore in the last third of the first act that will conclude the thematic introductions and set the stage for continued development in step 2.


After this step, you should have no unused thematic illustrations from the material you created for act one remaining.  If you do, work them into the beginning, middle or end of the first act unless they are no longer appropriate to the flow of your novel.


Keep in mind that you should never bring the message issue and counterpoint into the same scenario.
