A common challenge many writers face is gaining clarity on the story they’re writing and conveying it to readers in a way that compels them to keep reading.

Often, there are too many competing story-lines that don't feel integrated. Too many characters whose relevance isn't clear. And then there are random events that don't have a clear story connection. 

The story meanders without a point. 

This makes the story hard for a reader to follow. 

So, the challenge is to nail down who your story's about, what problem your character is trying to solve, what incident catapults him or her into action, and  how he or she goes about solving their story problem. 

It's a pretty straightforward framework. And there are 5 parts to it, which we'll break down in today's episode. 

So, if you're having trouble finishing your story, if you're getting stalled in the middle, or overwhelmed and lost in your own material, this episode is for you.
