This happened and then this happened and then this happened. It’s like you telling me in boring detail how you drove to my house. Quite frankly, I don’t care how you got here, I just care that you’ve arrived safely.
Good stories keep moving you forward because something happens that leads to something else happening. There’s a causal relationship between events that connects them and makes sense to the reader. Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it takes a while for that reason to be revealed.
The author’s job is to make you wonder what happened and why it happened.

And a cool thing about teaching or designing with stories in mind is that you let the people you are teaching or engaging do more of the work, thus immerse themselves more in their journey.

If you have have ever worked on or successfully completed writing a story, please reach out! Let me know in the comments below, what you found to be the hard hardest part of putting your story together? Did you find the world building overwhelming? Did you know know the start and the end, but you had no idea how to connect the two? Or maybe the opposite, you knew what happens in the middle, but not where to start it or how to end it? Not only would I love to know, but I think it will be helpful to others who come across my blog as they won’t feel like they’re the only ones struggling when putting their story together.
