Someone was out to get her. Collina wanted to know who it was and why they were doing it. |
Oct. 24: - "Plot: Complications" ▼ Complications. Identify additional things that could go wrong for your protagonist. You are not required to resolve any problems yet, just create them. Remember: The more hardships your main character faces, the more readers will cheer them on, and the more engaged and invested the reader will be in your story. Brainstorm a list of problems you could throw at your protagonist(s) throughout the story, using ""What If,"" mind mapping (see the resources at the bottom of the calendar), freestyle writing, or any other form of brainstorming you prefer. Hint: Other characters are a great source of realistic strife, since characters often are driven by conflicting motivations. *** NEED DISASTERS? See the Plot Twists generator at the bottom of the calendar. I try to have a cliffhanger, aka a Plot Twist, at the end of all my Chapters, Introduction, and Conclusion. Especially, the fives and tens. Not as much with the twos, fours, sevens, and nines. I’m going to try to do it with the ones, threes, sixes, and eights too. They may not be the life-or-death cliffhangers like the fives and tens. But they will be cliffhangers. I’m also going to try to do it with the five parts within each Chapter, Introduction, and Conclusion. Particularly, the first, third, and fifth part. Maybe not as much with the twos and fours. But I’m going to try to do them too. |
