A stock story is a story that is familiar to many people. That is, it uses cliches to come up with an interesting story. For example, any movie with James ...

You're vague. In this case, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. It looks like you need to write an outline of this story to develop ...

Very much like Spanish poetry (which I love to read but I can't write worth squat... yet). Since this is very much like Spanish poetry, I am forced to say ...
