ABSTRACT

A simple quest narrative developing a hero, a fantasy setting, a villain and a resolution. Ideas will evolve through staged scenarios and involve typical fantasy creatures from mythology. The hero is in a race against time to stop the sun going out. The sun is controlled by the fire-dragon, and this beast is missing. The writing ideas will be achieved through discussion, ‘dabblings’, notes and then chunks of drafts that will be punctuated by new possibilities. The final scene can be written independently and then joined onto the previous chunks to achieve a complete short story.
