hello there and welcome along to a

writer's life with more tips and advice

my name's Peter and coming up this time

key seems to include in your novel

writing a novel in essence is about

creating lots of different scenes that

link together to tell a story if you

break any good story down you'll start

to notice that there are patterns almost

all of them include the same key scenes

albeit told in very different ways to

structure their story and to allow the

plot to unfold naturally but with

moments of tension and excitement to

plotting your novel is all about trying

to figure out how to tell your story and

what should happen when understanding

the key sees to include can make this

easier start by listing as many scenes

you can come up with and write them each

on different cards then you can shuffle

them about to try and find order and

from there create your outline there are

some more obvious scenes that most

writers will know about starting your

novel with an enticing incident for

example is widely known as a good way to

kickstart your story making sure that

your protagonist goes on a journey is

pursuing your goal and has obstacles to

overcome are also key to your story

success however there are many more

important scenes that you need to

consider to help create the frame for

your story structure let's take a look

at them first the set up at the very

beginning of your story you need to

introduce readers to your main character

or characters you should also reveal the

setting the world which they inhabit and

allow them to get a sense of the time

and place before you hit them with the

enticing incident

next the initial turning-point this is

where something happens that changes the

character and starts them out on their

journey whatever happens has to be

enough to change the character's ideas

desires or motivations and see them

start to move in a new direction and

next the opposition you need to begin to

introduce the characters or obstacles

that your character must face to reach

their goal this is also an excellent

time to raise the stakes and ensure that

the reader knows what the protagonist

has got to lose should they fail next

the change something new needs to happen

that helps the protagonist get back on

track and focus again on their goal this

can be a compelling twist such as an

enemy becoming a friend or vice versa or

the discovery of new information that

changes the course of the story or

creates a huge obstacle the protagonists

must figure out how to deal with this

next no turning back there should be a

seed around halfway through the novel

where something happens and now there is

no way life can ever be the same for the

protagonist nor can they decide to go

back to normal this scene should propel

the story forward and catalyze a series

of fast paced events that you need for

your conclusion next another twist

towards the end of your novel you can

include a second twist when it looks

like the end goal might be inside

something unexpected can happen that is

of great importance to your characters

and next the major setback when things

finally seem to be going well and it

looks as though everything is going to

be ok include major setback which causes

catastrophe and spells despair for your

main characters and next the climax the

climax is a high-energy scene where

either the end goal is achieved or it

isn't

this should be a huge event where the

protagonist comes face to face

with whatever obstacle is greatest and

next the wrap-up the aftermath of your

climax should tie all your ends together

and draw the story to a satisfying

ending make this short and sweet and

don't leave your readers hanging on

these key scenes that make up a novel

will help writers to understand the

protagonists journey and give the story

structure use them to create your story

outline and then get writing and don't
