Yeah, the algorithm sorta works. Except the beginning could be the What if OR the Heart OR the character OR the conflict. Ideas are everywhere, as you said, and the beginning of story can be any of those things.
Interesting idea! For me, the conflict you mention comes first (what if "A" is true, but "B" is too, in which B is in direct conflict with A). A & B could be based in character, plot, or place, but all the important components of the story will stem from it). Does that make any sense?

Excellent point! Thanks!
Did you see that a pair of Przewalskis were rescued recently in the US? I thought of you when I heard that story.
Yes! Apparently a reserve somewhere "collapsed" and they sold off their stock. Crazy!

Yes indeed! Maybe I should rewrite and this algorithm is more like calculus...:) "If this...then that."
Haha, you may be on to something. Though I bet we're going to scare a lot of writers away if too much math is involved!
