The “inciting incident” is the narrative event that propels your whole story into forward motion. But what should the inciting incident be, and where? Does “inciting” also mean “exciting”? What makes it work, and what makes it flop? By exploring elements such as stakes and dramatic questions, we’ll look at ways to heighten that inciting incident to invite your reader into your protagonist’s lovable disaster. Open to all prose writers.
