A Story Starter Template to Get You Unstuck

This isn’t about documenting a book you already have.
It’s about creating it. Building it.

Use this fill-in-the-blank template to make fast story decisions to get you started, build scenes without overthinking and see the shape of your story.

Stories don’t stall because you can’t write.
They stall because you don’t know what decision to make next. This template helps you solve that moment.

You don’t need a full outline before you start writing your book.
You just need momentum — and this gives it to you.

Only $17 – available now for a limited time, until it moves into the upcoming Storyteller’s Vault.

I’m Jeannie

I’m Jeannie — author, marketer and story coach. I’ve published three novels, coached writers on finding their voice, and built tools that help turn story into storyteller brands.

This template is based on the same process I use to start and restart my own books, so you’re not just staring at a blinking cursor, you’re making choices that add up to a story.
