[I Found A Will In My Husband’s Files. Everything Went To A Woman I’d Never Met. My Kids Knew.]

Task:
Generate a detailed chapter outline for a deeply moving, intimate narrative script approximately 13,000–15,000 words long, from a first-person perspective of an elderly female protagonist, aligned with the best competitor scripts analyzed.

Requirements:
1. Chapter Structure & Word Distribution
Provide 10 to 15 chapters, each between 900 and 1,500 words approximately, varied per narrative need.
Distribute pacing to support emotional rhythm and story progression.
2. Chapter Titles
Provide evocative, thematic chapter titles. Use [Insert Chapter Title] as placeholder if unsure.
3. Chapter Summaries (150–200 words each) — exact format:
Chapter No. [Number]: [Chapter Title or Insert Chapter Title] (Word count: 150–200)
Summary:

Detail chapter-specific plot or emotional events—no repetition from prior chapters.
Present the protagonist's emotional and psychological state with nuanced, layered internal monologue and occasional self-aware commentary.
Depict thematic and symbolic motifs (letters, photographs, legal papers, domestic objects, light/shadow, silence) and their development/evolution within the chapter.
Specify the chapter tone/mood (reflective, tense, hopeful, somber) and pacing cues.
Show how the chapter advances the overall story arc—narrative momentum and the emotional journey.
Highlight sensory-rich domestic or mundane routines used as narrative/emotional “breathers” (e.g., making tea, gardening, baking).
Include minimal but meaningful dialogue or loaded silences revealing family dynamics and interpersonal tension.
Note subtle behavioral indicators of the protagonist’s shifting agency or boundary-setting.
4. Narrative Style & Voice:
Use intimate, first-person narration with emotional depth, blending gentle irony or quiet wryness when fitting.
Use simple, clear language accessible to an 8th-grade reading level. Avoid complex vocabulary or convoluted sentence structures.
Maintain a balanced narrative composition: approx. 70–80% narration, 15–20% sparse, impactful dialogue, 10–15% purposeful description.
Write clear, vivid sensory descriptions to create strong atmospheres and emotional subtext without complex phrasing.
Weave flashbacks and memories naturally with ongoing narrative, with emotive or sensory transition cues.
5. Emotional & Thematic Arc:
Structure overall story arc moving from feelings of erasure and exclusion to quiet, firm empowerment and boundary assertion, concluding with hopeful reflection or new beginnings.
Carefully layer themes of family estrangement, dignity, legacy, invisibility, and personal agency symbolically and narratively through chapters.
Portray complex, sometimes contradictory emotions authentically within protagonist and family members.
6. Family Dynamics & Supporting Characters:
Illustrate multifaceted family relationships—combine silent tensions, hidden loyalties, defensive attitudes, and moments of fragile empathy.
Introduce, as appropriate, secondary/supporting characters (friends, neighbors, advocates) that enrich the protagonist’s emotional world and help portray community/belonging.
7. Physical & Legal Action:
Include early and deliberate physical/legal scenes—meetings, document discoveries, confrontations—to balance introspection and move the narrative actively forward.
8. Dialogue Specifics:
Dialogue to be realistic, minimal but heavy with subtext, relying on pauses, silences, gestures, and indirect exchanges rather than overt exposition or confrontations.
Deliverables Checklist:
10–15 chapter titles (or placeholders) tailored to your main title/theme.
150–200 word chapter summaries in the exact format above.
Word count allocation suggestion per chapter to ensure total script target length.
Tone/mood and thematic notes integrated within each summary.
Narrative style, pacing, thematic layering, and emotional complexity consistent with competitor-level standards—using simple language suitable for 8th-grade readers.
