A Helpful Guide In Planning Your Plotline
Beginning 1:
This is where you start your story. It can be a prologue or simple an origin story of some kind.
1. Setting – What world, country, or type of place is the story set in.

3. It may be best to set the “goal” of the story in this part.

1. Think about if there are any battles that need to occur before the climax, even if the climax is a battle or war.
2. What final elements need to come into play?
3. Is there a final destination the characters must reach for the climax to occur?

Climax:
Its finally here! Time for the main event to begin!
1. What are the key parts to this climax?
2. How does the “villain” react to the “hero” in this part?
3. How is the issue resolved?

Descent 1:
This is the part immediately after the climax.

End 2:
Time to wrap things up. This is usually an epilogue for me.
1. If this is an Epilogue, have your characters come back together after some time apart?
2. Did any of the characters have families that they gained or got back in touch with?
3. How have their surroundings changed since the beginning of the story?<div>
