In order to tell a story, you have to string your paragraphs together like pearls on a necklace.

The thread that holds them together is made up of transition phrases.

• As a result
• Thereafter
• Therefor
• In consideration of the foregoing
• Notwithstanding the foregoing
• As you can see from what I said before
• Firstly, secondly
• The premises considered

Well, you get the idea.
