​Using these insights about my environment and characters, I began drafting my script. On the left are the original versions of my stories and their drafts unedited and raw. The goal was to generate ideas freely without the fear of writing a bad story. While many of these drafts may not be strong, they were essential stepping stones toward my final narrative. Throughout the process, I ensured that I didn’t limit myself creatively, allowing room for exploration and unexpected directions.

One consistent piece of feedback I received was that every situation and character in my story should serve a purpose rather than exist just for the sake of fiction. To address this, I kept a journal where I analyzed my stories from a logical perspective- breaking them down, questioning every element, and ensuring they contributed meaningfully to the overall narrative. It felt like being a mad scientist dissecting my own work. My takeaways from this phase are: Identify and eliminate logical fallacies in the story, Question the purpose of each character—why do they exist, and what do they add? Create a chart mapping all story elements and justify their presence in the world you’ve built.
