Improv workshop: And because of that with Anki

A story arc is the heartbeat of a narrative — the unfolding journey of plot and emotion that guides readers from a compelling beginning, through moments of tension and transformation, to a satisfying end. It’s the chain of cause and effect that propels the story forward, weaving conflict, change, and resolution into a rhythm that keeps readers invested. A well-shaped arc doesn’t just move the story — it makes it feel complete, meaningful, and unforgettable.

In a story arc, the phrase “because of that” represents the cause-and-effect link that drives the plot forward. Every meaningful story is built from a chain of connected events — something happens, and because of that, something else happens in response. This sequence of actions and consequences creates momentum and keeps the narrative engaging.
