ABSTRACT

Your narrative improvisation is now entering act 3 and the final stages of your story are about to take place. What are the things to look out for in this final act? How can you make it the most engaging possible? This chapter gives insight into how to answer these questions by examining the Climax and its two aspects: the last chance and destiny/fate. Everything converges at this point in a story and the outcome of the Climax will determine the End world that we leave the audience with. This chapter also examines the different types of endings you can give to a story and how each one will generate a different sensation in your audience. To conclude, an overview of all the main concepts concerning narrative waypoints is provided.
