The Pre-Drink - 10/9/07
Some premises may sound like proverbs or platitudes. If you're still having trouble forming your premise, try finding a saying that at least comes close to what you think the moral of your story should be. Then rework it so that there is a clear cause and effect relationship within the statement. Bam! Instant premise.

Here are some good places to start your search:

Remember: slow but steady wins the race!
