This Brainstorm Affinity Diagram template provides a structured visual workspace for authors to organize creative ideas for a new story. The layout features a teal header and is divided into logical sections that address core narrative elements, including settings, characters, and perspective. A horizontal timeline at the top allows for the mapping of three distinct settings, such as a fantasy world or ancient ruins, while a central section focuses on the two main characters—the protagonist and antagonist—along with their specific personality traits. To the right, a dedicated "Points of View" column helps writers decide between different narrative voices. The template includes interactive elements like digital sticky notes, hand-drawn circles, and arrows to facilitate a dynamic brainstorming process. This tool effectively transforms abstract story concepts into a clear, visual roadmap for the creative writing process.
