  • Thank you Tracie for the kind words. I think this advice can act as a starting point for any sort of story. The audience and goal of your story will drive how you vary from the formula. I think tips like this can help you get started on the process of shaping the tone and direction, but the gist of your message will determine how closely you adhere to the structure. With practice and feedback you will learn what works. Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules. Only advice. Hope this helps.
