So, you've created a great narrative hook and an ordinary world scene for your story and you're thinking 'what next?' In this episode, I will share will you the important elements of the next plot point of the first act of your story. The next plot point in the first act is the inciting incident. The inciting is the scene that many first time writers seem to confuse or entirely overlook. Most often this scene is confused with the hook or the first plot point. I will discuss this plot point in another episode. But, today I want to take the time to point out the elements of the inciting incident.

This is the third instalment of my three-act structure mini-series. If you've just joined me on this episode then, I will link the previous three episodes, the hook, the ordinary world, and the episode on three-act-structure in the show notes over on my blog. In this episode, I will focus on the next plot point in the first act. This plot point is the inciting incident.

Thanks for listening!
