Writing Camp + A Coded Symphony

Week 1 + Initial Outline

Step 1: Write Down Your Ideas

Main idea: A pianist, and a sentient AI met to create music for a world that had forgotten real music. Along the way, they create their own purpose in each other's lives.

First idea: The MC left his apartment to buy groceries but instead was forced to buy an AI software that he doesn't need.

Step 2: Draw the plot using the ideas

The orphaned pianist named Lucas was forced to buy an AI software in a discount store when he was just trying to get a dry shade as it rained heavily throughout the city. The store owner was desperate to get rid of the software. Lucas relented until he finally couldn't. He bought the software, and left the store without looking back.

Step 3: Add scenes, supporting characters, and logic

Scene 1: Lucas' apartment

It was one of those days. The sky looks bleak despite the city lights, and the glittering neon lights from the local red district nearby. Lucas skipped work for the second time this month. He would be lucky if he still has a job if he comes back tomorrow. He found out that he has no food in his fridge, and grudgingly left his apartment for a quick grocery tour.

Scene 2: In a dark, and wet path. 

Lucas was already having a bad day. It only tripled when it suddenly rained even though the weatherman had announced that there won’t be any showers today. The rain made people run to find shelters, some with a sense of sensibility had brought an umbrella, and carried on their way. Lucas was drenched in minutes. He ran to the nearest store with an erect plastic foldable tent for shelter. He was ambushed by a crazed little man, the owner, pushing him to buy the AI software that he didn’t want. In the end, Lucas still bought it.
