I'm studying narrative structure for my writing class and in this book it says a novel is constructed of an opening scenes, no point of return, then for crises that build up to the climax.
I'm not really sure what a crises would be. Is it anything that creates a goal for your character like If the goal is to find a vaccine, an epidemic would be the crises. Crises build up is anything that increases the urgency of reaching that goal; perhaps the epidemic has spread passed the quarantine zone.
Can the crises be internal not just external? Does it have to be a crises for the mc or can it be for any character?
New to writing for help much appreciated
Thank you
