Only Two Types of Stories

There are only two types of stories and they’ve already been written: “I’m going on a journey” and some version of “boy meets girl.” Every story falls into one of those two categories, metaphorically they can fall into both; it’s the details that will set your story apart.

Ugh.

As far as Deus Ex Machina goes, the only reason this ever happens in a story is if the author has not adequately prepared for a meaningful ending.
