Climax & Denoument

THE CLIMAX AND DENOUMENT OF YOUR STORY...

I am combining these two elements of a good plot together because they are reactive - meaning you have to have the basic conflict build up in the story action in order reach the most intense moment in the action to have it fall and return to the end of the plot.  So to have a great ending - you have to build your story with action and dialogue that keep creating reactions from the characters. Here is an interesting video on creating an interesting plot and some excellent advice from Laura Turner:  http://www.ehow.com/video_4989322_write-good-plot.html

There is an abundance of writing information online - many different ways of saying the same thing in different ways.  Thumbing through websites especially to hunt for writing examples can help you with creative ideas.

I have limited my use of examples in the first 9 lessons because of the abundance of information on the internet.  However, I will begin to use examples from well known literature to discuss elements more in depth in the remaining 6 lessons.

The two URL's above have some great information and definitions of literary terms that writers need to know to improve their writing expertise
