8The steps of this workbook are part of the Story-Flash technology described by Alexander Astremsky in his book Story-Flash: Step-by-Step Technology of Plot Development. This Workbook is meant to be used for developing screenplays on paper and not in front of the screen. Take it with you to the park, on a business trip, use it on the plane or at the beach. It is also perfect for those times when you are tired from constantly looking at the screen.

The workbook will enable you to develop the story structure and characters with the help of an exact technology and without having to consult book Story-Flash every time. To use it, simply write down the IDEA and then build up your story from there, step-by-step. From the moment you wrote down the primary situation and created your protagonist and antagonist, you can move forward without any stops until your story is built from A to Z.

The first section of the workbook allows you to create the nucleus that you will use to build the plot. The second section helps you build the structure. By following the steps of the third section you will develop memorable and three-dimensional characters. And the fourth section will help you add suspense to the story so that the readers (or viewers) cannot tear themselves away from it. These four sections will help you with your story writing.

Of course, it would also be great to have as many such workbooks as you have ideas for writing a screenplay! That way you can easily make each of them into a finished story, write a book or a script!
