According to The New York Times, "When structuring your story, don't feel tied to the 'inverted pyramid' style of writing, in which the most important information is placed in the first paragraph and proceeds retrogressively from there. Consider weaving background material with details and quotes, and when choosing an order in which to present your information, move thematically rather than chronologically."

1. Identify whom you plan to write about.
2. What type of information do you intend to open with?
