Got a story idea but not sure if it can actually become a full book? The Story Idea Evaluation Sheet helps you take a promising idea and pressure-test it before you start writing.
Work through your story’s hook, protagonist, conflict, stakes, character arc, relationships, world, emotional core, originality, and ending. You’ll also get a quick reality check to spot the parts of your idea that are strong and the parts that need more thought.
Perfect for writers who are still developing a novel, outlining their next project, or wondering whether their “great idea” actually has enough story in it.
Use it to:
Clarify your central premise
Strengthen your protagonist and their motivation
Identify the real conflict and stakes
Explore your character arc and relationships
Test whether your idea can sustain a full-length story
Find what makes your story distinctly yours
Turn a vague idea into something you can actually start writing
Because sometimes the best time to find the holes in your story is before you write 50,000 words.
