Cause and Effect

Read Deuteronomy 10-12

Deuteronomy 11:13 "And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,"

Actions have consequences. That truth needs to be reflected in our fiction as well.

Our characters’ actions will have effects in the story world. It might only affect one character, or it might affect the community.

The cause and effect sequence forms the basis of the plot. When we keep the results negative, it will get the characters into deeper and deeper trouble, keeping the story going and the reader fascinated.
