Harmony, and other musical metaphors
I wonder if most story writing fits together much the way a piece of music does. Is there an theme, a bit of jazzy dissonance here and there, sets of events that harmonize, a strong modulation to the story's climax? Is there a feeling of resolution and closure at the end of the story? It's all yet another way of approaching the craft of telling a tale.
