The story with a shape
A story that's all middle is confusing, all end is dull. Beginning, middle, and end give it shape — meet the character, watch the trouble build, see how it's solved — the backbone of every tale you'll ever tell.
Stories go in order
A story has a beginning that sets things up, a middle where the problem grows, and an end where it is solved. If you mix up the order, the story stops making sense.
