Anna’s StrategY (2/2)

Anna already has an idea of how the story she wants to write should work. She meets with her business partners and friends Daniel and Sonja and tells them her ideas. She’s interested to see what they think. Anna pays close attention to how Daniel and Sonja react to the various elements and parts of the story.
