Nine Segments

Your life may be in the beginning of the middle, but for the world, this is the beginning of the end.

The nine parts the story can be broken up into. This number may be reduced to three if it's too short to have the depth for all nine. All nine segments have some combination of beginning, middle, and end such as the middle of the beginning. Certain events are strongly associated with each segment, like the Call To Action in the beginning of the middle and the Big Fight in the middle of the end.
