Dramatica Tip of the Month
March, 1999

A story's Outcome (Success or Failure) is simply a determination of whether or not the Story Goal is achieved. Do not place value judgments on the Outcome. Think of what happens, not what should happen. If the story goal is achieved, the outcome is Success. If the story goal is not achieved, the outcome is Failure.
