Ready to write an EPIC CLIMAX that has your readers on the edge of their seat? In this final episode of the 3 act story structure breakdown series, I'm going to show you the secret ingredient to an exciting climax (hint: it's NOT exploding spaceships!) What if I told you that most writers have fundamentally misunderstood The Climax? What if I told you that contemporary stories can be just as nerve-wracking as sci-fi adventures? Let's unpack the "Climactic Confrontation" and look at what REALLY hooks the reader's brain on your story.

✨ A B O U T ✨
My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
