Well I meant that if you're making a game, in my opinion the most fun thing you can do programming, it would normally help to write a story.

That said, I do think there are some simularities in programming and story writing.

Deciding variable and function names is a bit like choosing what word to use when you're writing, a OOP program's structure is similar in some ways to a storie's: A character is an Object, it's opportunities/personality traits are like methods/functions in the way that it helps to keep them on your mind for good times to use them. There are also times in both story writing and programming where you have to connect two parts together in an elegant way after you notice what was connecting them doesn't work.

There are lots of elements of what I mentioned that are completely different, but I think some elements are similar.
