What is a "premise"?
A premise is the core idea or concept that forms the foundation of a story. It includes the central conflict, main characters, setting, and the general tone or genre of the narrative. Essentially, it is the basic outline that guides the development of the story and helps shape how it unfolds. For example, if a story's premise is about a detective solving a mysterious crime in a futuristic city, this basic idea establishes the framework and direction for the plot. It provides the foundation from which the entire narrative develops.
