Hi, friends! Hope you enjoy the video! I'd love to hear from you in the comments if you have more tips for writing powerful inciting incidents.

Thank you Nicole for this information. I appreciated the reminder that the I.I. doesn't always have to be hugely profound, just big enough for the protagonist to become disturbed enough to choose to move into motion. In a way, we see the I.I. as the effect of the causal I.I. when the desire is strengthened, and the motivation is pushed into action.

Thanks for your comment, Jana! Yes, that's a fantastic point about the causal I.I. And I think some of the most captivating stories are when a seemingly insignificant event/decision kicks off a chain of events that spiral out of control.

*Question:* could I start my book with my MC’s brother getting thrown in jail and then have the inciting incident be later that night when my MC finds his cell empty and here’s music playing?
