Oct. 7: - Plot: Climax

Oct. 7: - Plot: Climax (Where is the story going?) ▼

Where is your story going? Describe the climax, the point at which everything changes and the tension of the primary conflict is finally resolved. Use the 'What If' brainstorming exercise to create a list of possibilities, remembering to consider the growth of / change in your main character(s) as a result of this event. The climax can be as hidden and seemingly tiny as that moment when your character finally makes that decision they've been dreading or avoiding for fifteen chapters, or it can be as huge and obvious as an exploding planet. Sometimes, the climax is a little hard to pin down. Was it the moment Ender won his game? Or was it the moment he realized the moving images on his screen were not a simulation, not the game he thought it was, and that he had just personally wiped out an entire alien race?

----------------------------------------------------
I have to ask myself a question first. What is the main objective of my story? It is for Jacob to reclaim his rightful place on the thrown and to reverse the curse placed on his family and the kingdom by the current king.

What if Jacob is able to take back the kingdom?

What if a war breaks out for Jacob to reclaim his thrown or after it is claimed?

What if the talisman is the key to unlocking the curse?

What if Jacob has to complete a quest to reverse the curse before he is able to take back the throne?

What if he has to gather his army to fight for the thrown?

What if the current king is allies with a powerful sorcerer?

What if said sorcerer is made powerless?

What if there is a moment when deep understanding of everything comes together for Jacob such as a near death experience?
