Are you struggling to figure out how to write the rising action scenes in your novel? I remember when I first started writing and using the three-act-structure, I outlined scenes in the first act and then got stuck with the second act. It wasn’t the entire middle of the story I was stuck with; it was the first half. I understood the midpoint and the second plot point, or the ‘Dark Night of the Soul,’ but where I struggled the most was with getting my story to the midpoint. These moments in the first half of the second act are referred to as the rising action or try/fail cycles.

In this episode of The Authorpreneur Podcast, I will discuss:

● What needs to happen in the rising action scenes

● The key three scenes in the rising action

● What not to do in the first half of the second act

● And I will share seven tips on how to write the rising action scenes.
