Episodic Plot Definition Novels & Stories

That’s the point in the story where fiction writers and screenwriters typically break into act two when outlining their plot structure. Make sure your first plot point provides emotional stakes. The first plot point is the moment that everything changes for your character. It’s an inciting incident that pushes them toward the middle of the story and beyond. In Star Wars, for instance, Luke Skywalker’s discovery that his aunt and uncle has been murdered provides him with an emotional reason to accompany Obi-Wan to Alderaan. The first plot point should not only move the story forward but should also provide an emotional foundation to justify your main character’s decision-making.
