How to Break Your Story in Five Easy Steps (Part 5 - How Does it End?)

S2 E16 – Breaking Your Story in Five Easy Steps – Part 5 – How Does it End?

While you don't need to know all the details or plot points of your story, you do have to know something. Namely, you need to know who your character will be by the end of the story, or what kind of change he or she will undergo.

The Hero's Journey is built on the idea that the hero comes back from his journey changed. The "moral of the story" or the takeaway for the audience is wrapped up in the cathartic moment of the character - that key point in the story when they finally grow and change in some significant and permanent way.
