Before starting your story it can be really helpful to think of your story in three acts. Each act will have its own theme / a journey. And each act will end with a climactic moment that will take the reader (and the characters) into the next act.
In my Wattpad urban fantasy, Devils Inc., Act One is all about the main character's introduction to a world of angels and demons after she accidentally signs her soul away to the Devil. By Act Two she has found out that someone is trying to trigger the Apocalypse, and this act is all about trying to find out who that villain is. By Act Three we know who the villain is, and the act is centered around finding a way to defeat them.
By splitting the manuscript into three parts, and thinking of the story in these terms, you can take the reader on a mini-journey each act. It can also help in terms of keeping the story organized, and keeping the pacing tight.
