A burger with just a bun and ketchup is boring! A good story is like a good burger! You need all the right ingredients to make every mouthful delicious.
A good story has all the right ingredients to make the reader savour every morsel. From the first taste, a good story will captivate its reader and hold them right to the end. Bonus points if the reader is licking their fingers at the end!
The bun holds all the ingredients together. The top bun creates a scrumptious setting for your story. This sets the mood and works as a backdrop to the narrative you are about to tell.
The bottom bun holds it all together! Every great story follows a story arc. Make sure to include a beginning, middle and end to your story. Captivate your reader with a unique setting, rising tension, a climax and a spectacular finale.
