+# Creative Writing
+
+**Story**
+
+A story consists of tied together by conflict,
+1. Plot/Idea
+2. Characters
+3. Setting
+
+- Short stories can be based on one idea, however a book will usually be a collection of ideas.
+- Setting is the least important.
+
+1. Promise
+   - Stories make one or more (tone) promises.
+   - Being control of your promises is mastery of art.
+   - Promise a character arc (how the character is going to change).
+   - Plots can be divided into,
+     - An umbrella plot (will 2 people in a romom get together).
+     - A core plot (we were doing ABC, but fell in love).
+2. Progress
+   - Hardest.
+   - There's a time clock that a reader feels when reading a story (page numbers, chapters, visual maps) that makes the story compelling.
+   - Page turner indicates that "progress" in happening (gives the illusion of progress to the reader).
+   - Can be done by indentifying the type of plot.
+   - Do mini-plots (nested code).
+3. Payoff
+   - Make good on all of it.
+   - Should flow naturally, should give readers everything they were promised.
+   - Try to give people more than they expected.
