2. A story is not a merely a series of events; It is a
series of events with a compelling sense of
momentum that carries the reader towards
conclusion. We call this momentum a narrative arc,
and writers achieve it by having strong characters
who experience challenges and conflicts and
undergo changes as a result. In creative non fiction
writing, choosing the right character and the right
character and the right conflict is an essential part of
starting a story.
3. CHOOSING YOUR
CHARACTERS

not just a product of someone’s imagination.
The character must follow the narrative arc
or the sequence of the story.
