Visualizing your story is an excellent way to ensure you’re establishing the narrative arc adequately.
The reason for the use of the word “arc” in the terms “story arc” and “narrative arc” is because, visually, a story arc looks like a pyramid or roller coaster. Visualizing your story is an excellent way to ensure you’re establishing the narrative arc adequately. Work out your plot and themes and visualize them on a timeline to see your outline in one place. With everything in one place and plotted out precisely, you can start to change events to improve pace, tension, and more. Thus, you can improve your story and your readers’ experience.
