TAP017, How to Write the Rising Action Scenes in a Novel

Send us Fan MailAre 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. Tools & Resources Check Out the Show Notes | authorpreneurpodcast.com/rising-action-scenes/Ask a Question on Writing | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/question/Your Questions Answered | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/question/faq/Want podcast episode updates sent straight to your inbox? | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/podcast/tap/Looking for an affordable premade book cover? | https://levillainbookcovers.com/shop/  **Be on the Podcast | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/podcast/interview/Host Your Author Website with SiteGround ⇢ https://www.siteground.com/go/authorpreneur * The Previous EpisodesWhat is Three-Act-Structure? | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/iap012-three-act-structure/How to Write a Great Story Hook in a Novel | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/iap013-the-story-hook/How to Write a Great Ordinary World Scene | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/the-ordinary-world/How to Write the Inciting Incident | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/inciting-incident/How to Write the First Plot Point | https://authorpreneurpodcast.com/first-plot-point/ Support the showConnect with me on Social MediaDiscord: https://discord.gg/HZX7HZBQUfFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorpreneurpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorpreneurpodcast/X: https://twitter.com/writeradhayYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/authorpreneurpodcast/videosGoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/authoradhay/Merch Store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/WriterADHay/shop* This is a service or product offered by me** My bookish merchandise store
