Story elements work together as organic whole

00000000000000000000x

No part of your story exists in isolation. They are merely a component of a greater whole; just as walls and a roof disconnected from its foundation would collapse, so also will your story if each element doesn���t dovetail into the other. Because of this, writers need to understand how each part of the story fits together.

Here are some articles that examine a story���s major components and how they work together:
��� Five elements of a story 
��� Five parts of a plot 
��� Types of conflict (the heart of every story) 
��� Character arc
