What's happening at the Point Cafe?
Describe the attitude of someone who walked into the cafe.
She threw her hands in the air and yelled, "You idiot."
Something happened just outside the cafe to cause this feeling.
Tires screeching, the car swerved to miss her and kept going. A head bobbed from the driver's window and laughed.
What does the character do after what happened?
Is something about to happen at the end of the street?
When's the next happening?
Focusing on action helps a story evolve. Begin with a character who happens upon a situation.
Asking . . . and then what moves the narrative along from happening to happening.
