Writing Excuses Master Class - Project in Depth: "Parallel Perspectives"

Once again, I'm demonstrating just what a clever woman I am.  I apparently missed a writing prompt, so pretend this one happened before the last post, yes?  They actually tie together pretty well, and I'm hoping they'll help with the synopsis for the anthology submission I'm still working on.  The writing prompt:

Decide on the promises you want to make to your readers in your story. Then outline according to those promises.

Promises, promises.  OK, here goes:

I want the reader to be curious about the idea of memory monsters.
I want the reader to be uncertain of what exactly happens in the main character's mind.
I want the reader to root for the main character/narrator as she travels in her own memory.
I want the reader to fear for the main character's sanity.

Outline:

• Meet Julia (main character/narrator)
• Recently moved to a new town
• Finds herself flashing back to things she doesn't actively remember
• Decides to seek help
• Meet Dr. Evans
• Psychiatrist Julia is referred to
• Specialist in memory recovery
• Decides to take Julia on as a "challenge"
• First session of "Evans method" of treatment
• Dr. Evans sends Julia into her own memory
• Described as a hallway full of doors
• Behind each door is another scene/memory populated by memory monsters
• Julia meets younger version of herself as a guide
• Dr. Evans decides to pull Julia back before she's ready
• Wants to know what happened, Julia can't describe beyond what we saw
• Second session of "Evans method" of treatment
• Julia decides to go back into her memory on her own
• Encounters memory monsters that don't want to be found
• FIGHT!
• Comes out of it, but not sure who won the fight

Writing Excuses Master Class - Where Is My Story Coming From?

Originally, I was planning on putting this exercise off for a bit, but I'm realizing that I need help in this area.  I actually went back to the Church of Book story I was working on for NaNoWriMo, and I decided that while the setting and idea were good, the plot I was putting together wasn't.  I'm trying to come up with a new outline, and what do you know - March's theme for the master class was outlining!  So, the writing prompt:

Take a favorite piece of of media (but not something YOU created,) and reverse engineer an outline from it.

Inspired by last night's Wrestlemania, I thought I'd take a stab at outlining one of the running storylines that was bumped up yesterday.  This could be a little bit tricky, as wrestling storylines are pretty ad-hoc, depending on who's hurt in a given day.  But let's try it anyway!  Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the World Heavyweight Championship (spoilers ahead):

• Roman Reigns starts as a member of the Shield with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins
• Seth Rollins ends the Shield and turns on the other two members, forcing all three to continue as singles competitors
• Seth Rollins wins the Money in the Bank ladder match, giving him an opportunity to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship anytime, anywhere
• Roman Reigns has to leave for a few months due to legitimate injury and surgery
• Roman Reigns comes back and wins the Royal Rumble, giving him a title shot at Wrestlemania
• Fans are most displeased
• Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan (a recently returned fan favorite) compete for that title shot won at the Royal Rumble, and Roman Reigns wins
• Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, current World Heavyweight Champion, wrestle in Wrestlemania's main event for the title
• Seth Rollins appears after the two main competitors have wrestled for ~15 minutes, cashing in his Money in the Bank opportunity and turning the one-on-one match into a triple threat match
• In a triple threat match, the current champion does not need to be pinned in order for the title to change hands - any one competitor can pin/submit any other competitor to win
• Seth Rollins pins Roman Reigns and wins the World Heavyweight Championship

So, it's not great literature or anything, but I feel like there's a pretty good storyline through this.  It's obviously not over yet - that final match left story hooks for all kinds of revenge, team-ups and the like - but it has a pretty decent flow.
