1. Begin with the pinky finger and in there we'll write the story genre. It could be a teen drama, a gentle rom-com, or maybe a character comedy.
2. Now we'll go on to the ring finger, which will give us the somebody of our story. Names aren't much help here, so give us a really quick character context. You know, a sixteen year old runaway, a middle-aged widower, a single, twenty-something ad-exec, something like that.
3. Now, here on the middle finger, that'll give us the "wants something", or goal.
4. Now, the index finger will describe the obstacles or the "has trouble getting it" of our story. This often adds a massive "but".
5. Now the thumb covers the most important part of this - the reasons why you love the story and the reasons why it's different from all the other stories in the same genre. It's very important to give us some reasons to be excited about this, or reasons, or ways in which we can make this particular story specific and interesting.

Dear diary,
Today I gave a present on birthday of my son Peter. It was a model enjine. This model more perfect than you could ever have dreamed of. I knew that my son would like it. But the dreadful event happened. The engine went off with a bang. It's good that no one was hurt except the poor little engine and the feelings of Peter. I'm so sorry to Peter, he expected a better birthday. I hope he calm down soon.
