Storytelling

Step 3: Arc of a Story

A story is a journey. At the beginning, you set the scene and create your characters. And you work towards the climax: how does the problem get resolved?

But with storytelling, it is a good idea to start with thinking about the implication of your story: the ‘so what’? What action are you trying to get from your audience? Think about this, and write down what you want people to do after they hear your story.
