When Push Comes To Shove
Task A. Write your synopsis - What is your story about? How would you describe it or what is the general idea of it? Describe it in 300 words. [COMPLETED]
Task B. Make your outline - What is the chronological timing of events? You can follow different structures such as Freytag’s Pyramid or The Hero’s Journey. You also don’t have to complete the whole story to get the reward. Simply achieve a minimum of 600 words.
Task C. Create your main character - This would be your main protagonist. Tell us about them - what do they look like, where did they come from, what are their strengths and weaknesses and what are their flaws. Why are they in this story and what do you want them to gain from their adventure? Be as detailed as you can regarding this. Please provide a description of at least 500 words. [COMPLETED]
Task D. Set your commitments or make a timetable/schedule - How often are you able to write in a week and how many words are you able to write? Giving yourself a goal or a limit can help you pace yourself as you write.
Don't mind this post! Just here for me to see the Tasks easier and show which ones I've completed.

When Push Comes To Shove
TASK A
This story is about a young child trying to survive. They had been through a lot from a young age, getting pushed around and looked over. But when all the adults in their village die from an unknown disease, they learn that anything could be worse than what they were experiencing. This story takes place in the Medieval times, where there isn't a lot you can do to get help. They and the rest of the kids finally decided to go for help after a series of unfortunate events. But it isn't all that easy. With the forest filled with monsters and animals the only thing that can be done is keep moving. But maybe the worst of all the things they can find in the forest, people. With the forest full of magic, and with the children only just starting their apprenticeship, they are outnumbered in this world. Will they get through the forest? Or will all of them die before they do?
On another note, the story is based off the backstory for my DnD character, Ollie Green. It will only be the forest part, because that's more interesting than watching a kid ride town to town for money or the war and stuff- In the story, they are about 12, with the others around that age. The oldest would be 16, with the youngest 5. The story is named 'When Push Comes To Shove' because the slight pushes all the kids have had though their life finally went to shove them, but they showed they are strong and determined. Their journey will get hard and harder, the universe not wanting them to stand up to them and finally get a good ending. And many of them don't. The biggest good turning point is actually a bear. It's when they learn they need to be very careful, or die trying to get out. Some other kid from other Druid villages faced the same fate, and they crossed paths.

A pale skinned child with fluffy black hair and green eyes.
Detailed Looks:
Ollie is a pale skinned kid, but it doesn't look unhealthily pale. Their skin is smooth and baby soft, giving a forever young look. They are a bit underweight for their age and height, but nothing too noticeable. They have fluffy hair that covers their small pointed ears and falls on their eyes. It is quite a lot of hair of the masculine representing kid, and when straightened and combed, their black hair rests just below their shoulders. They have kind green eyes, perhaps a bit too large for their round face. Actually, everything on their faces seems a bit too big on them, from their eyes to their grin. Instead of having rounded ears like humans, they have small pointed ears, indicating that they are of elf heritage. Their canines are much sharper than most species, giving them an advantage in eating tough meat and attacking someone by biting. Their nails are also pointed, though they don't grow like that.
