The inciting incident
Definition
It is the event that sets the plot into motion, thrusting the main character into the action.
Three inciting incidence misconceptions
1.The inciting incident is always the first thing to happen.
There may be some backstory or buildup before this,such as a conversation or scene leading up to it--but that doesn't change its role in the story!
2. The inciting incident is exactly the same as the 'hook'.
The inciting incident tends to require more exposition than a hook.
The inciting incident catalyzes the plot and soldifies that attention.
The hook is a dramatic description or opening scene that first catches the reader's attention.
3. The inciting incident raises more questions than it answers.
The inciting incident usually involves some kind of newfound clarity or realization for the main character.
It does create questions, but its main purpose is to give the main character a distinctive path to follow , rather than muddling it.
