To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.

I think this is a very will written story.

END

The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.

CLIMAX

This is the moment when the main character surpasses the last obstacle and finally faces their greatest challenge.
The climax usually follows one of these patterns:


Type in your answer.

When her step mother and step sister leaves to go to the ball her fairy godmother shows up and grants her wish to go to the ball to meet the prince. She goes to the ball and is the most beautiful girl there, dances with the prince and falls in love. At the stroke of midnight she leaves behind her glass slipper in a rush to get back home in time for the magic to wear off. The prince must find the one fits the slipper. They live happily every after!

MIDDLE

The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.

OBSTACLES

There wouldn't be any tension and excitement in your story if there weren't any obstacles in your character's way.

What prevents your character from accomplishing their goal?

A story is nothing more than a character overcoming a series of difficulties to reach the desired goal. Obstacles usually create suspense and conflict. In overcoming obstacles, there is growth: weak becomes strong; hatred turns into love; sadness into happiness; wrong into right; lies into truth; or evil becomes good.

See a few examples below:

Cinderella wants to go to a ball at a beautiful palace, but her step mother dosen't let her go.

MOTIVATION

Your character(s) need(s) motivation in order to solve the challenge(s).

Main character

Why does your character need to confront this challenge? What does he/she expect to accomplish by solving it?
See a few examples:

Cinderella's fairy godmother

CHALLENGE

Each story has a main character and that character usually needs to solve a problem or challenge. The character's challenge is the one that creates tension throughout the story.

Other Challenges

Type in any other challenges which other characters in the story need to face.

What are the main challenges in your story?

In most stories, there are 3 challenges. The number 3 is a mystical number symbolizing completeness. Try to come up with interesting challenges with which your character needs to struggle.
See a few examples below:

Cinderella was once a very spoiled child who lived in a house full of servants, and didn't have to do anything but after her mother died,Her father remarried,but unfortunately her step mother treats her very badly.after Cinderella goes to the ball, at the stroke of midnight she loses her glass slipper and the prince can't find his true love which is Cinderella.

BEGINNING

In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.

SETTING

The setting (time & place) of a story can change throughout the plot.

Time

The time of the story can also change. It can describe the event of a single day or can include an entire year's plot. Anyway, don't forget to mention it.

Where does the story takes place?

Your story can take place wherever your imagination will take you to.
For example: in an elevator, in an enchanted forest, etc. Don't forget to give details of the environment each time the setting changes, otherwise, the story can be confusing. Also, mention the seasons as each of them has unique weather and events.

CHARACTERS

Characters are essential to a good story. Usually, the protagonist(s) is/are the most affected by the plot. Introduce a character by focusing on their actions, interests, and occupation, as the physical appearance doesn't make a difference in most cases.
