Parts of a Book

Writing a book can be challenging at points. You may start to wonder what to write, how to resolve conflicts, etc. Or writer's block hit you pretty hard. To move forward in your story or development, I have added the important parts of a story.

1. The beginning/exposition. This is where you introduce the main character(s) and the setting. Include important factors about your character, such as traits, talents, and flaws. Also, the setting. What country is he/she living in? What state? What city?

2. Next, the conflict. Every book and story has conflicts, and a character overcoming it is what makes it interesting and empowering.

3. After that, jump into rising action. Conflicts get worse in this period. You can make your main character stressed, upset, angry, etc. to show the reader them dealing with the problem.

4. THE CLIMAX!!! The most epic part of the story is the climax. This part includes a lot of action and intensity. Usually this causes characters to learn about themselves.

5. The resolution is the last part of the book. It can be up to several chapters long or as short as a page. This is where you resolve the problem. What have the characters learned? Are they proud of themselves? Or are they traumatized from violent events?

Think about these parts and take a look of plot maps. Maybe write what happens at each important part. Or contemplate about what consequences come from these parts.

Hopefully this explanation was helpful. I will talk about some of the important parts in different posts.
