NaNo Inspiration, Day 28

[tryslora]

Definition: A climax is a moment of great intensity in the plot of a literary work, generally bringing events to a head and leading to the conclusion.

We are nearing the end of the month, and if you are working on a single story, you should be nearing the climax, and the end can all roll downhill from there.

A typical novel will have many small climaxes throughout, as well as many times that the plot backslides, seeming to slip further from resolution. This is how conflict builds, creating tension that carries the reader through from beginning to end. It can't all be futile, so we have small successes to keep the reader happy and tuned in. But it can't all be easy, either, or else the reader will become bored and slip away.

But now... now you are coming to the big climax. The ultimate unraveling of your conflict and tying it up neatly into something starting to resemble resolution. Write those words! You have two days left after today, and the end is in sight.
