  • The Positive Change Arc Climax

    Today, we’re looking at the Climax of a Positive Change Arc. This is where everything comes to a head, and where all of the main conflict is resolved.

  • My Favorite Character Encounters With the Cross

    Since Resurrection Sunday is coming up in less than a week, I thought this would be a good opportunity to give you guys a list of some memorable scenes in Christian movies and books. So stay tuned for some good movies to watch this Easter season!

  • The Ultimate Negative Change Arc

    Today, we are looking at the last example in our series on the story of humanity—the ultimate Negative Change Arc. This role of this arc is played by those who ultimately reject God and His Truth.

  • The Positive Change Arc Third Plot Point

    Today, we’re talking about the Third Plot Point—arguably the most important plot point in your story (and also my favorite). It’s vital that you get this plot point right, so stay tuned as we dive right in.

  • The Ultimate Negative Flat Arc

    Today, we are looking at the third arc in the story of humanity—the Negative Flat Arc. This is, of course, Satan, the main antagonist. Though Man also works in opposition to God at times, Satan is the one who provides the most conflict.

  • The Positive Change Arc Second Pinch Point

    Your character has just passed the Midpoint of the story, and is now in the second half of the 2nd Act. They are halfway done with their journey, but, while all seems to be going well, the worst is yet to come. Today, we are talking about the precursor to these troubles—the Second Pinch Point.

    I know it’s been a while, but we are finally continuing our series on the story of humanity. Today, we’re going to be looking at the ultimate Flat Arc—God Himself—and how He stays constant throughout eternity.

  • The Positive Change Arc Midpoint

    Today, we’re talking about the Midpoint, also known as the Second Plot Point, the Moment of Truth, or the Mirror Moment. It’s a vital turning point for your MC, but it can also be a pitfall for unprepared writers.

  • The Ultimate Positive Change Arc

    Today, we’re finally going to look at the first ultimate example of an arc. Since the Positive Change Arc is the most popular arc (and also the one we’re currently covering in our Plots and Character Arcs series), I thought I’d start with that.

  • The Positive Change Arc First Pinch Point

    Your character has just been plunged into an entirely new world. No longer in the Normal World where they could be relatively comfortable in their Lie, they are now in the Adventure World, where the Lie doesn’t work and the main conflict abounds. At this point, it’s a confusing world full of unknowns.
