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