Scene structure: GMC (Goal-Conflict-Disaster) alternates with RDD (Reaction-Dilemma-Decision). Every scene from character motivation. Final scene = hook.
Character bible: role, age, appearance, motivation, wound, fear, want vs need, arc (start→turn→end), relationships.
Chapter hooks: cliffhanger, question, revelation, twist, narrative linger.
Subplots: mirror (same theme diff POV), contrast (opposite outcome), support (info/motivation), convergence (entangle with main).
