Creating an effective narrative involves more than just telling a story; it requires strategic planning and thoughtful execution. The following best practices will help you craft Stories that are engaging, clear, and impactful:
Modular Approach: Break down your narrative into smaller, digestible stages. Each stage should cover a specific aspect of your story.
Logical Flow: Ensure a logical progression from one phase to the next, maintaining a clear and coherent flow.
