You want a story? Read 'Gone With the Wind'. These aren't stories. They're joke books. The whole thing of a beginning, a middle and an end has been done to death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
I look for two things when I am about to launch into a book. First, there has to be a dramatic arc to the story itself that will carry me, and the reader, from beginning to end. Second, the story has to weave through larger themes that can illuminate the world of the subject.
A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.
A story is not finished, until it took the worst turn.
Write the story you need to tell and want to read. It's impossible to know what others want, so don't waste time trying to guess.
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.
A story really isn't truly a story until it reaches its climax and conclusion.
I'm one of those people who think that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and then they're over, and then you tell the next story.
A good book is a good book. End of story.
