What makes a story? Easy. Once upon a time: A bunch of stuff happens. The end.
Anyone can tell that story. “Hey, I was driving down the road and saw this guy spin out on the ice and crash into the ditch along Route 5. It was crazy.” But what makes a story good? I used to think it was strong character motivation. Don't people say, "Character is King"? If you knew what a character wanted and why they wanted it, it would make the things that happen more interesting and entertaining. “That wasn’t just any guy. That was my roommate, Jeff! He’s always late for work and his boss told him if he’s late one more time, he’s fired.”
