Hi everyone. I am very new and trying to figure out the terms for my story. I have read a couple of articles and trying to finish the manual book but when I think I have it it just slips through my fingers. My story is kind of a ghost story. In it there is a woman that had a terrible accident and while being operated, she wakes up in a different world and she is chased by a ghost/person she had done injustice to in her real life. However, been in this new world she doesn’t remember what she had done.
So in a way in order to return to her old world alive she has to discover what the ghost wants and who it is and try to fight it. She will find out it’s a person she had done injustice to and she needs to undone it. This is also MC character arch of change.
Now as for the OS I am not sure if it’s a Situation or Activity. She definitely has to do certain things to defend herself and also find out things about the past but at the same time she is stuck in this world she can’t get out unless she wins in a way the ghost/person. I tend to go towards the Activity since I don’t see this as something generated by her being in this world but rather generated by the attack of the ghost/person/ guilt. This is not a hunted house story. It’s like she was carrying her own demons with her but in this world they woke up.
Also, not sure if she is a Stop or Start character. Does Stop or Start has to do with the plot action or her inner arch? She tries to stop the ghost/person from killing her that is the OS plot but the MC has to move on in her personal story by releasing her demons. Is that a Start ?
Thanks for your time.
