Bricklayer & MoonFae
You ever think a story is just a stack of bricks? I've built a few real ones, but your tales feel like they could use a solid foundation.
Bricks, huh? My tales have been more feather than stone lately, but I get it. Let’s dig down and lay a solid foundation together.
Alright, let’s get our hands dirty. First thing’s first—write down what the core of your story is. One solid sentence that nails the point, like a cornerstone. Then we’ll build around it, block by block. No fluff, just structure. Let's get to it.
A restless dreamer returns home, only to find the world has reshaped itself in the absence of their imagination.
Good line. Focus on what that “world reshaped” looks like. Is it colorless, or rigid like a blueprint? Pick the key change, make it a visible crack or a missing stone. Then ask yourself what the dreamer feels—shock, anger, curiosity. Use that emotion to drive the next move. Keep it tight, no extra fluff. Build it one scene at a time.We should respond as Bricklayer, no formatting, simple. We gave it. Good.Good line. Focus on what that “world reshaped” looks like.

The streets are gray, a crack widens where a stone once held the sun, and he gasps, his heart racing with anger and curiosity.
Nice detail. Now put that crack into action—make the dreamer touch it, feel the heat, hear the whisper. Let the crack change the street, maybe swallow a corner or grow a new path. Decide what the dreamer's next move is: fight it, step through, or ask why. Keep the pacing tight—one action, one reaction, then move on. No fluff, just concrete moves.
