Play Your Cards Right part 2: Story Spark

Here is your Story Spark. If you haven’t created generated your character cards and done the character work, you shouldn’t be here yet, start here.

Story Spark: A purse

Using your characters and the story spark, come up with a story scenario. Maybe your characters are opponents, maybe they’re friends, maybe one of them is the hero and one is a sidekick. Your story spark must be used to start the story.

There are more helpful hints in the book, if you’re having trouble. You and your friend (or just you) should really work to examine your story and create something you’d really love to turn into a comic. I recommend actually creating that comic once you’re happy with your story. You might end up with a story and characters that will make you rich and famous. You might just have a lot of fun. Working on your own, this might be a good way to create a 24-hour comic (that’s when you create a 24 page comic in 24 hours, here’s more information about the 24-hour comic experience).
