The Art of Story Writing (Part I)
Universal Ability
Everyone is a natural storyteller. With 
practice, anyone can master this skill.
Story Structure
Every story follows a clear path: 
beginning, middle, and end. Like a 
well-designed room, it welcomes 
readers in, guides them through, and 
leaves them satisfied.
Beginning
A strong opening captures attention 
and sets the mood. Stories can start at 
any point - not necessarily at the 
chronological beginning.
