Oct 7 - Plot Climax
by s Author IconMail Icon
This is the pivotal end point of the story, where the whole tale coalesces into something amazing. Even pantsers often have a vague idea of where the story will end, what will happen at the ending. It is what makes the story work... or fail.

Things to remember:
* The climax does not need to be the very end, as some loose endings could be tied up.
* The main character/s need to have grown/changed over the course of the story. and the climax should show this
* Deus ex machina endings annoy readers
* Introducing new characters that become pivotal at the climax also annoys readers

But instead of me re-inventing the wheel, here's Abbie.
Last year I promoted the Hello Future Me channel, but I have discovered Abbie Emmons this past year and she is another strong presenter.
