lol!
but thank you SSSOOOOO MMUUUCCCCCHHHHH 4 posting the questions (:
Hey folks, as for 4a, the inciting incident is the point in the story where the primary problem first presents itself. It should be similar to, if not the same as, the main conflict...in other words...what is the problem at hand? Why would these two be in the position they are in...
hope this helps!
