The rising plot makes up the majority of a novel and is therefore a crucial part of a story's structure. Since it can make up as much as 90% of a story, it encompasses almost all of the plot development and the strength of a novel depends on it. You can learn about the rising plot by studying different narrative structures, but you can also learn the building blocks and characteristics of a strong rising plot to write an effective plot even without following a structure like the Hero's Journey or Save the Cat. Let's talk about the rising plot and how to write an effective plot!
