[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 to 15,000 words long, told in first-person POV from the perspective of an elderly female protagonist. The style and depth should align with the best competitor scripts analyzed for emotional authenticity, thematic complexity, and narrative sophistication.

Requirements:
1. Chapter Structure & Word Distribution
Provide 10 to 15 chapters, each approximately 900 to 1,500 words.
Vary chapter length naturally to support pacing and thematic focus.
Ensure each chapter flows logically and smoothly into the next, with transitions that maintain emotional and narrative continuity.
2. Chapter Titles
Provide evocative, thematic titles reflecting the emotional or narrative essence of each chapter.
Use [Insert Chapter Title] placeholders if titles are undecided.
3. Chapter Summaries (150–200 words each) — exact format:

Chapter No. [Number]: [Chapter Title or Insert Chapter Title] (Word count: 150–200)
Summary:
Describe unique plot or emotional developments relevant to the chapter (avoid repetition).
Present the protagonist’s layered emotional and psychological state, including introspection and occasional self-aware or gently ironic commentary.
Include how symbolic motifs (letters, photographs, legal documents, domestic objects, use of shadows/light, silence) are introduced, developed, or deepened in the chapter.
Specify the chapter tone and mood (reflective, tense, hopeful, somber, etc.) and pacing insights.
Detail how the chapter advances narrative momentum and the protagonist’s emotional journey.
Highlight sensory-rich domestic or mundane tasks (making tea, gardening, baking) as emotional or narrative “breathers.”
Include minimal, realistic dialogue or charged silences revealing family tension and interpersonal dynamics.
Note subtle behavioral expressions indicating the protagonist’s growing agency or boundary setting.
Articulate a clear, smooth transition element connecting this chapter to the previous and leading naturally to the next.

4. Narrative Style & Voice
Use intimate, first-person narration with emotional depth, combining gentle irony or quiet wryness as appropriate.
Use simple, clear language suitable for an 8th-grade reading level; avoid complex vocabulary or convoluted sentences.
Maintain the narrative balance:
70–80% narration (internal thoughts, reflections, sensory detail),
15–20% sparse, impactful dialogue,
10–15% purposeful description.
Weave flashbacks and memories seamlessly, supported by emotive and sensory transitions.
Utilize self-aware narrative comments or reflections sparingly to add warmth and layered personality.
5. Emotional & Thematic Arc
Structure an overarching story arc moving from feelings of invisibility, exclusion, and betrayal to quiet empowerment, boundary-setting, and hopeful renewal.
Carefully layer themes including family estrangement, dignity, legacy, invisibility, and personal agency throughout the chapters.
Portray complex, sometimes contradictory emotions authentically within the protagonist and family members.
6. Family Dynamics & Supporting Characters
Illustrate multi-dimensional family relationships, encompassing silent tensions, unspoken loyalties, defensive postures, and fleeting empathy.
Introduce and integrate supportive secondary characters where appropriate (friends, neighbors, advocates) to broaden the emotional scope and social context and add narrative depth.
7. Physical & Legal Action
Incorporate early and meaningful external actions such as legal meetings, document discoveries, family confrontations, and phone conversations to sustain story momentum and tension alongside introspective passages.
Use these scenes to heighten stakes and create narrative drive without overwhelming emotional nuance.
8. Dialogue Specifics
Keep dialogue naturalistic, minimal but dense with subtext and emotional weight.
Employ pauses, silences, gestures, and indirect communication more than overt, explanatory exchanges.
Use dialogue to subtly expose tensions, loyalties, and evolving relationships.

Deliverables Checklist
A list of 10 to 15 chapter titles (or placeholders) carefully matched to the script’s thematic and narrative arc.
For each chapter, a 150–200 word summary formatted precisely as above.
Suggested word counts for each chapter aligning with total script word count of ~13,000–15,000.
Integration of tone, mood, and thematic highlights within summaries.
Evidence of clear, smooth transition cues between chapters.
Narrative style, pacing, thematic layering, character development, and conflict consistent with competitor-level quality—all written in simple, accessible 8th-grade-level language.
