+
+You're **almost** done with the project!
+
+What's left is to complete the first sentence, then add in another question to give players some more choice.
+
+## Finish the sentence
+
+To add more words or punctuation to the sentence, add another string using concatenation.
+
+1. On the same line as the story variable, type `..`
+2. Add another string containing the rest of the sentence, or just punctuation. Don't forget to add an extra space at the end of the sentence.
+
+   ```lua
+     -- Code story between the dashes
+     -- =============================================
+        local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
+
+        local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
+     -- =============================================
+   ```
+
+## Add a second question
+
+To ask a second question, create a new question and keep adding to the same variable holding the story.
+
+1. Decide what word to delete from the second sentence in your story.
+
+   **Original Placeholder:** _Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted_ **food1**.
+
+2. Beneath the first variable, create a new variable to act as a placeholder.
+
+   ```lua
+      local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
+      local food1
+
+      local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
+   ```
+
+3. Use `storyMaker:GetInput("")` to ask the player a question and store their answer.
+
+   ```lua
+      local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
+      local food1
+
+      local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
+   ```
+
+4. In the story variable, concatenate the next story string using `..` Be sure to include a space after the end of the sentence.
+
+   ```lua
+   local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
+   local food1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite food?")
+
+   local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". " .. "Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted "
+   ```
+
+   <Alert severity="info">
+   You may need to scroll in the code editor window to the right for longer sentences.
+   </Alert>
+
+5. After the new story string, concatenate the answer for the second question and finish with punctuation.
+
+   ```lua
+   local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
+   local food1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite food?")
+
+   local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". " .. "Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted " .. food1 .. ". "
+   ```
+
+## Optional additions
+
+If you're interested in developing the story more, we've included some ideas. For example, some ways of improving the story include:
+
+- Add more lines to your story
+- Playtest the game every time you add a new set of variables and strings
+- Ask a peer or friend on what other words they would like to customize.
+
+Also, below are some **tips and tricks** to make stories for fun for players.
+
+### Use variables more than once
+
+Variables can be used more than once — just use concatenation between strings where you want to include the word(s).
+
+**Example Code**:
+`"I am " .. name1 .. " and you are in the palace of " .. name1 .. "!"`
+
+**Result**:
+I am Sameth and you are in the palace of Sameth!
+
+### Add line breaks
+
+Line breaks can be added by typing `\n` in a string. Also, more than one line break can be combined like `\n\n`.
+
+**Example Code**:
+`"One \n Two \n\n Three"`
+
+**Result**:
+
+One
+
+Two
+<br />
+<br />
+Three
