When doing so, keep character motivations, changes in setting, the themes and subject matter, and conflict in mind.
If you want to write a great story arc, it’s essential to start out with the basics, such as establishing the 5 Ws and using them in your planning. The 5 Ws are the “who”, “why”, “when”, “what”, and “where” of your story. Use these building blocks to plan out your narrative arc before putting pen to paper. When doing so, keep character motivations, changes in setting, the themes and subject matter, and conflict in mind. Brainstorming beforehand and going in with a clear plan is the best way to ensure you have a consistent and well-written narrative arc on your hands.
