    Something I've learned about ACT II is this; in every movie or TV show at the second act break is a moment where one character will basically tell the other I'm sick of you and you need to wake up. Not in those exact words but in some kind of way. It's a conflict that always happens.

    I honestly cannot thank you enough. I have been struggling with the second half of Act 2 for a good three years now on my first novel. Every time I think I have it, it alludes me. So, I will restate a comment I read on another channel: "How can I say 'Thank you' in all the languages of the world? Sincerely.

    The hardest and most craftwork act in storytelling, while Act 1 can go to a lot of places that seem out of nowhere, it can be more excused as it's setting the record straight on what the story is, and Act 3 can offer the satisfactory relief, but Act 2 is the bridge that holds it all together, and the Act that can easily get the most carried with.

    Great tips. Based on the movie I saw and like;ACT 1,the heroes try to make the bad guy give up the stones so they can bring back their friends. ACT 2,the heroes figured out the way to get the stones by going back through time. The bad guy had messed it up and trying to get the stones from them. ACT 3,the bad guy is defeated. That pretty much explained how to write a movie.

    Ive noticed you have different levels of awareness in your story. The audience knows things. The character knows things and supporting characters know things. Utilize those levels in interesting ways. Also, thwart expectations within a scene. These can be small moments, or big moments.

    The conflict and challenges have to escalate. At the height of the obstacles the protagonist has to face a fork in the road. If he keeps going something bad will happen, but if he doesn't keep going his inner and outer goal will not be resolved, so he keeps going and takes big risk. ...
