Writing articles and historical books (probably other writing as well) requires beginning and ending a story where there is no beginning and no end. The very beginning of every story based on earth is at creation, and we are waiting to see the very end of everything on earth; nevertheless, God sets the standard.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." ~ Revelation 22:13
Therefore, the writer has the work and privilege of determining where to begin a story, not too far from the climax and not too close to it either, and where to end a story, not too soon with questions still unanswered and not too far with the story dragging on and on.
Where to begin and end names only one of many aspects which contribute to a good article, book, and other writing.
