Build on the Ending

           An entertaining story should have unity – the conflict should create on the audience anticipation of the outcome and its body must lead to the outcome.

          Thus a story’s beginning must establish the conflict as soon as possible in order to have a grip on the audience, while a creative body will engage the audience in the resolution of the conflict, so that the outcome will be welcomed if not an expected one.

          An outcome will be crystal clear for the audience when it’s anticipated, well established and clear. A good beginning and a masterful execution of the body make a clear and established ending. Thus at the very beginning of the story, you should already build on the ending.  Always have the end in mind. Every phase and every word of the story should lay the foundation for a crystal end.
