So you've brainstormed ideas for the three plot points in the first act of your story, and you're now wondering how to transition between act one and act two. How do you take your character into the core conflict of the story? The easiest way to do this is to set up a point-of-no-return scene in your story.
In this episode, I'll discuss:

• What is the first plot point?
• When should the first plot point take place?
• The two most important elements you need to include as you write the first plot point.
• And what to read next if you want to dive in a little deeper into the first plot point.
