Cause and Effect

There is a cause and effect to everything we do in life. The cause and effects are a sequence of events that can be closely linked together like a chain. When you allow the readers to see your chronological order of events, they can easily understand your story. They then know why a certain thing happened, what did it cause you to do, and what progressed from then on. It is a way to show the flow of the conversation at hand, and allows people to arrive at the same conclusion.

The chain of events should always occur in a chronological order other wise it would not make sence to the person who is reading. If you went from point 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...etc. you can follow the chain easily, however if you went out of sequence like 1,4,2,5,6,3,7 the chain is so twisted that you wind up going in circles trying to find how you got from 1-7. Read the story,and mentally road map the sequence of events. Always look for connections so that you know you have the story straight.
