Want to write a STRONG OPENING for your story and GRAB readers' attention immediately? The inciting incident is where it's at. But despite popular belief, the inciting incident isn't just "something happens to move the plot forward"... no, it's MUCH deeper than that. That's why today we're breaking down the formula (and brain science) behind a GRIPPING inciting incident!

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” - it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel - and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!

"Justin injures himself" is killing me.

@ellaa499 4 года назад

Justin: injures himself Abbie: Why does that matter to the character? How does Justin injuring himself transform him as a character and take him on an exciting journey? Why do we care that Justin injures himself? Why does HE care? What internal conflict has been destroying Justin’s insides that him injuring himself basically tips him off the edge? Why. Does. It. Matter?

Scrooge gets visited by Marley. Luke sees the princess' call for help. Dorothy gets a visit from Mrs. Gulch, wants a place where there isn't any trouble, and sings about the land that's somewhere over the rainbow. Wendy sees Peter's footprint on the third-floor carpet, with some out-of-season leaves from unknown trees. Harry gets a letter from Hogwarts. It is the character's first contact with the Special World.

@chloeelimam3899 2 года назад

Would the tornado or the visit from Mrs. Gulch be the inciting incident?

@toobert Год назад

@@chloeelimam3899 I think Mrs. Gulch, because that causes more of an internal change than the tornado, which is like the epitome of external conflict. A literal natural disaster tears up her life, but Mrs. Gulch gets her to think "What if there was somewhere else, where I could be more than what I am now?"

@sandrosebastian8664 4 года назад

"We get high off of watching other people make decisions." That's an interesting way to look at it, since we are not just looking at characters make decisions, but also the author making decisions.

9:08 I... I am totally surprised! So many times I asked myself "Why the hell am I torturing myself for a "hobby" I'm talentless at?" Now I understand that writing isn't just my hobby anymore. I don't write to entertain anyone. I want to tell them about something that could change them for the better. That's why I even write in the first place! And I didn't realize it! Miss Emmons, thank you for coming to my life. You taught me more than any Literature teachers I know combined.

@truthhurts9924 Год назад

I am a historian. Very few people truly realize what you just said, 'stories began as non-fiction, to tell an account of something that actually happened. It was so that others could learn from the past and gain wisdom and knowledge through the lesson!' I already liked your stuff, but this truthful analysis of oral history (ie. stories) has pushed me over the edge. You have earned my subscription. Way to go! The truth changes everything!

@alainad6364 2 года назад

OH MY GOSH. Okay, so. I've been working on this story for seven years now (since I was eleven). It's grown up with me and everything, so it's not the same story I started writing all those years ago. I'd written 120 pages of the book, then scrapped it to rediscover and reconsider my plot when I found Abbie about two years ago. I just finished writing over 20,000 words of outline (I have ALWAYS been a pantser, so that's a big deal, lol). I'd worked on my characters a bunch before then and thought I had them down...except for one of my main characters, Silas Avers. He's been tricky to figure out because he kinda already has what I thought he wanted, so sorting out why he'd make the decision he makes during the inciting incident felt impossible. BUT IT JUST HIT ME. Literally while I was watching this, it just fell in my lap. AGHHHH. I'm so excited. I've been avoiding my book for a couple weeks now because of this...but now I can go write confidently again!!

@glessier Год назад

@ExploreImagineDefineCreate 4 года назад

I would love a video discussing and analyzing how to do a negative, static, or a 'dark' character arc. Postive arcs are widely seen, but I was thinking of doing an arc that would lead my protag from being a typical fantasy adventurous hero, to an a-hole who thinks strength is everything and he can do no wrong, to an antihero whose lost everything because of his flaws culminated in the perfect situation for someone to take advantage of and is now on the path of revenge, to a guy who just wants to settle down and live a normal life. He keeps on getting worse and worse as a character, and in the end he just wants to leave it all behind. Maybe find a way to make amends with his past, forgive himself, and find redemption. I'd love examples of something like this and some discussion, analyzing, and breaking-downs of this concept.

Absolutely loving your new videos! I'm about to plunge into a new draft of one of my novels (I used to call it a side project, but I kind of like it better) and since I was only 20,000 words in last year I wanted to make sure the outline was strong. I used your 3 act structure template with what I already knew happened and now the entire novel is laid out in a 3500 word outline. These new videos are helping me tweak the individual beats just a little as I get ready for Camp NaNoWriMo. Your channel has become my go-to resource and I share your videos on Discord all the time!

@candellina6 3 года назад

It sounds like Abbie really likes to use the 27 Chapter plot structure. If not, the 27 Chapter plot structure at least lined up with what she was saying. The Embryo plot structure is also a great example of a good structure. Most plot structures will share the same core elements of efficient story telling, but they will vary in what order the plot points come in first or emphasis on parts.

Thank you for this lucid explanation of the nuts and bolts of the inciting incident in a story. I did include an inciting incident in the story I'm writing but it is tepid. I couldn't fathom why, but now I do. What I neglected to highlight was why the protagonist was thrown out of his comfort zone. Also why the protagonist had to meet the challenges. I did create an aura of impending foreboding but that was about it. It's back to the drawing board for me, and this time it is with a sharper pencil. Much appreciated🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the awesome and informative writing advice, I definitely needed this for my book so much. Since I’m writing the beginning of chapter 1 of my book tales of the old West: haunting legends of the superstition ancient mountains I’m writing. Chapter 1 of my book is kind of lacking a inciting incident and conflict. The first scene in my book is literally just my three main characters at a creek in the mountains doing some gold panning. Until a group of strange alien monsters show up and causes my main characters to get scared and run back to homes in their hometown in the valley below. I feel like I definitely need to fix that and make the beginning of chapter 1 just a bit more interesting and add a conflict and inciting incident. This video definitely really helped me out a lot on getting me started 💕🌟😎❤️ thanks I greatly appreciated the video

@darrylaevans 3 месяца назад

@SerendibiteStudios Год назад

Here’s how I look at character driven stories vs. plot driven stories: If your story is all about the events HAPPENING TO the characters, it’s plot driven. If your story is all about the CHARACTERS experiencing the EVENTS, it’s character driven. Make sure that the events truly mean something to the character, rather than events happening while the character is just there to see it. You don’t want your character to be like some spectator watching the events through a glass wall. You want the EVENTS to come to the CHARACTER. You want the events to infiltrate the life of the character. Think of it this way: Your character lives in this little circle, which they are comfortable with. It’s their comfort zone. The events of the plot are a vine, growing into your character’s circle and wrapping itself around the character, forcing it to leave the little circle.
