            <String>Make sure your plot is POOEE. That is to say, identify the Protagonist, Objective, Obstacle, Escalation and Ending. My personal experience is that if I have all five of those, then I know I have a story that can be turned into a full plot. I’ve also learnt that if I don’t have all five elements then my idea isn’t strong enough (yet) to sustain a full length creative work.

Note, there’s a lot not listed in here that you might expect to see in a story “framework” if you’ve read much about story structures: beginning, lock-in, mid-point, antagonist (unless that’s the obstacle), etc. Personally, I think those are things that you can flex during development to make the thing work, but if you have a strong answer to all of the POOEE elements, then there is at least one strong plot in there somewhere.</String>
