The Laws of Narrative: Introduction

Over the years, my dearly beloved (who happens to be a writer) has referred to what she calls the "Laws of Narrative". These references are usually complaints, when some story (whether book, movie, or tv show) fails to obey her holy writ, which has never actually been writ. I intend to rectify that, and quantify the laws as I've been able to observe them in action.

Sounds good. Are these going to be your NaNoWriMo Magna Cartas?

Sure. Why not? These are rules to live by. Try to get as many as possible into anything you write. Never break the Laws of Narrative!
