In this episode, I explain the basic points of the three-act structure. Act 1: the setup. This act includes the inciting incident and finishes with plot point 1. Act 2: the confrontation. This is two-quarters of the story. Act 2 includes the midpoint (a turning point in the story where things have often gone terribly wrong *or there is a false victory) and it ends with plot point 2. Act 3 is where we reach the climax, the protagonist answers the dramatic question raised in act one, and we get the story's conclusion.
