The WHAT
  1. Start at the beginning
    1. Establish a routine or 'platform'
      1. Someone doing something in a safe, stable environment which does not involve conflict
    2. Proceed to the middle
      1. Break the routine
        1. This has to be related to the routine
      2. Expand upon the middle
        1. A new routine is established once the old routine is broken
          1. Keep breaking the routine and establishing new ones.
        2. Bring back the beginning
          1. Reincorporation - without this a story can be pointless and unsatisfying
            1. A satisfying story needs reasons for things to happen
          2. Build to a climax
            1. Each new routine must be at a higher level of importance than the last
              1. Keep raising the stakes
            2. Bring it to an end
              1. Once all the mysteries have been solved and the routines all linked the story is over
                1. It helps to reincorporate the beginning
