Na počátku všech velkých příběhů je zárodek myšlenky, embryonální něco. Tato knížka může pomoci začínajícím autorům rozvinout prvotní originální nápad - ať už je jím letmá vzpomínka, která nám vytanula na mysli při procházce, hádka ve vlaku, k níž jsme se nachomýtli, nebo fantazie, která se nám zdála ve snu - do dobře strukturovaného díla. Nejprve si představíme teorie zápletky (ta je stejně důležitá pro psaní románů i pro dramatickou tvorbu a scenáristiku, ale popíšeme i několik modelů speciálně určených právě dramatikům a scenáristům). Poté se obrátíme k časem prověřeným vzorcům "základních zápletek". Následuje kapitola o chronologii a o tom, jak jí lze manipulovat v zájmu dramatického účinku. Pak vám poradíme, jak vyprávění začít a zakončit, a nakonec vám nabídneme k vyzkoušení několik praktických metod.
