I tried this and it was so awesome!...THANK YOU!!!!<br /><br />I tried this and it was so awesome! I totally know my character arc now for this story. I'm going to have to do this for allmy WIP and ideas. What an awesome tool. <br /><br />Here goes: Storm Compass<br /><br />One word: Growing up (i couldn't think of one word for this concept)<br /><br />One sentence: What began as an escape to save his family becomes a quest to discover what Jacobi’s birthday present really is—and why his grandfather had the rusty medallion in the first place.<br /> <br />30 seconds: Seventeen year old Jacobi receives what he thinks is a worthless medallion as a gift from his long lost grandfather. When it appears the entire world is after his birthday present he runs to protect his family. As he gains an unlikely ally the medallion reveals itself to be a compass and it is pointing in a direction Jacobi has never gone—away from home and the security it has offered him his whole life. The compass sends the two on a trek across their amazing world and keeps them constantly just one step ahead of those who want it for themselves. The journey reveals more than just the origin and purpose of the compass—it defines friendship, and what it takes to grow up and be an adult.C.
