nano_writersFSN - Day 20 - Second Plot Point
Day 20 - 11 days until the start of NNWM
While considering the framework for our story, we’ve looked at the beginning of the story and the event that entices the protagonist to take up the quest to win his or her heart’s desire (Plot Point 1). As the story unfolds, our hero discovers something startling or minimally, something is revealed to the reader that changes the context of the hero’s journey (the midpoint).
The midpoint often changes events for our hero such that s/he experiences setbacks and misfortune, believing later “all is lost.”
Today, spend fifteen minutes creating a list of events and opportunities (Plot Point 2) that will convince our dejected hero to try again and come back with a new plan and renewed vigor. After all, everyone loves to cheer for the underdog, right?
Tomorrow we’ll assemble all these lists: the beginning, the ending, Plot Point 1, Midpoint and Plot Point 2 into a kind of road map for our story for November. Until then, keep writing Nano Writer!
Thanks very much for the well wishes! Still under the weather but applying lots of tea and hot and sour soup ;-)
