Will read story only if it appeals to them on a deeper human level. To reach third wave writers write with universal themes. Outline is like a blueprint you wouldn"t build a house without one. Make a skeleton outline: beginning, middle, end, introduces the complication with an anecdote, end resolves the complication, middle connects the dots. Make a bullet point list of everything you want to say in the story. Story pitch: pitch a story idea verbally in class march 25. It can be inverted pyramid or wsj.
