Act 1: The Ordinary World

Writing a Book:

Researching how to write a book I have learned that most are broken down into three acts with the first act being the ordinary world and initial inciting incident.

This is meant to introduce the main characters in their ordinary world. This is where the people, places, and things that they interact with regularly are show.  It is through this that you start to figure out where they are dissatisfied in life. This is often where unresolved emotional issues appear and the false belief they have about themselves or the world.

I will need to answer questions such as:

• What are they working towards?

• What do they daydream about that they don’t think will ever happen?
