Consequences

Read 1 Kings 13-15

1 Kings 13:22 "But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers."

We have consequences to our actions, so it’s only natural that our characters experience the same. Most will be logical—a hand on a hot stove will get burned.

Plotting needs the progression of action and consequence to develop. It’s the only way to get from point A to point B.

But writers need to plot a little more. We will want to tweak our stories by using the worst or most surprising consequence of the character’s action.
