October Novel Prep Challenge

I find I'm working a little bit like this with the three-act structure: Act 1: Setup – Exposition, Inciting Incident, Plot Point One (25%) Act 2: Confrontation – Rising Action, Midpoint, Plot Point Two (50%) Act 3: Resolution – Pre-Climax, Climax, Denouement (25%).

From the one-line sentence, I concocted an outline (sort of) and am fleshing out the outline now.

Then I go back and try to figure out the climax again.

Pre-Climax starts with the final clash between the protagonist and the antagonist. Experiencing the entire journey with the main character, I get my first glimpse of the antagonist’s true strength, which usually catches the main character off guard. The climax signifies the final moments of the story’s overarching conflict.

With this in mind, I hope to use s 's Cat to write a few lines, go back, flesh them out, go forward, and so on in November, the lines corresponding with the chapters I need.

Does this make any sense?



Be careful out there!
