chapter SIX
Goals, Objectives, and Methods
Making Changes by Addressing the Problem
Gun shots ring out. Or lovers, long separated, arrive at the chosen time and destination. Or perhaps a young girl’s hand reaches into an empty space under the floorboard.
 
Each of these incidents would be a gripping moment in a story because something significant, something climactic, is about to happen. Something will change the lives of the main characters forever. What happens next? What will change? The job of the storyteller is to provide the answers.
Similarly, a proposal story isn’t finished until it too has reached a climactic moment and the reader’s questions about what will happen next have been answered.
