Stage 8: The Ordeal Everything within the first act — and beginning of the second — builds up to The Ordeal, which is the first real conflict that the protagonist must face. What Is The Ordeal?

It's the midpoint of your story where your protagonist faces their greatest conflict yet.

1. Write The Ordeal as If It Was the Climax of the Story
2. Kill the Protagonist's Darlings
3. Give Opportunities Within The Ordeal for the Protagonist to be Resurrected
