: Re: Story development: Multiple characters premises I am used to stories which have one premise which through sequential events is proven by the character. A few stories like war stories can have

With these types of stories, they need be worked on from the ending to the begining. The idea needs to start with a point or a premise for it to work. There must have been some ending you had in mind. If there is no point to your story, why write it in th e first place?
I'm only inciting you to find meaning in what you write. If your work lacks meaning then there's no point in writing. Draw from personal experiences. If this particular story is for entertainmwnt primarily then you would have no problem with developing a premise (because the point is entertainment) But given that you're stuck, I would say... Your stuck because you see that the subject matter relevant and real and its not about entertainment. Therefore the only way for the story to continue to develop is if you draw from things that are real in your life. Then you will find a premise.

I hope this helps',
