Three Acts Or Eight: Doesn't Matter
This is for all you writers out there, trying to figure out how to structure your stories. Do you follow a three act structure? Five? Eleven? Just kidding, don't put eleven acts in your story.... But you should have at least three, and maybe a maximum of six? Ultimately, it comes down to knowing the reason why you are doing what you are doing. Don't structure your story arbitrarily. Do everything for a reason.
