What are the Stakes of the story???
The key to a compelling story is establishing what the character wants and what is in their way, creating intention and obstacle. Stakes in a story determine what is at risk or to be lost. While initial stakes are often portrayed as life or death, the true art lies in generating high-stakes emotions even in low-stakes environments.
