Tips in Writing

Lesson 11

eleven|all about the plot

🌸 First of all, you should learn the parts of the plot:

1. Initiating event

2. Rising event

3. Conflict

4. Climax

5. Falling action

6. Ending or epilouge

🌸 Initiating event, dito happy happy na muna. Malalaman mo na lang na you're approaching the rising event pag slowly lumalabas na yung mga factors ng problema sa story. Next, conflict, here it tells how the characters deal with the problem. Kung gaano sila ka-apektado at kung anong nararamdaman nila ukol dito. The main event should happened before the climax. Climax contains a lot of action - packed. By action, it comes in different forms pero depende na rin sayo kung anong klaseng climax na gagawin mo. Falling action, lahat ng factors ng conflict ay nareresolba dito. And then the ending, it tells the readers the condition of the character after they surpassed the conflict. All of the remaining unresolved should have a resulotion here. Mas maigi din kung makakapagbigay ka ng view of what had happen after. Example: A year after, five years later, After ten years. Bahala ka na kung ilang buwan o taon ang iyong gusto.

🌸 In plotting, nothing should happen at random. Every element of the story should have significance. Dapat connected. You can't do the next chapter nang hindi naman konektado sa nauunang mga pangyayari sa first chapter. Because by doing so, you'll going to leave plot holes.

(But of course in mystery genre, it is understandable to have a lot of plot holes)

🌸 Plot holes - ito ay maiikukumpara bilang leak ng story. You need to fix it or avoid it. Ang plot holes, ito yung mga naiiwang mga katanungan na wala pang sagot. Masasabing hindi successful ang isang story kung sa ending ay may hindi pa nareresolbang mga plot holes.

🌸 The plot demands a part wherein the character should be in a difficult condition or misfortune. This effect is caused by the conflict.

🌸 Allow the readers to see the character's agenda. By this, you should be able to explain why he cares too much or reveal a glimpse of why he turned out to be a bad guy.

🌸 On the low level, plot is consists of action and reaction. Dito pinapalabas natin ang damdamin ng readers. Isa ito sa mga goal mo in writing your story, masasabing successful ang work mo pag nakaya mong makakuha ng reaksyon mula sakanila. Either positive or negative

🌸 On the high level, plot is composed of a beginning, middle, and an ending.
