Your inciting incident is going to be one of the most crucial moments in your entire story. No pressure, of course. So today on Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, I take a look at a prompt from a fantasy writer who's having trouble making logical and emotional sense out of their inciting incident. Plus they're struggling with the motivations of a key (albeit minor) character. As usual, I give some unscripted feedback live on air, dig into the comments, and answer a quick listener question about one of our producers.

Email your show feedback and/or advice prompts to fantasywritingforbarbarians@gmail.com or join our Discord. Check out our prompt for this week here.

Fantasy Writing for Barbarians‘ host is Jon Negroni, author of The Pixar Theory, Killerjoy, and more. Our producers are Natalia Emmons and Bridget Serdock.
