Plot[]
- The best summaries simply explain the story!
- Story plots are written in the narrative present—that is, in the present tense as the story unfolds.
- The basic structure of many narrative plots includes a lengthy middle section during which characters repeatedly get in and out of trouble on their way to the climactic encounter.
References[]
- Referencing is a good thing to get to grips with: after a point, in the source editor (the three horizontal bars beside the “Cancel” and “Save page” when editing a page) simply type:
<ref>the text you want to appear</ref>
Also, under the "References" heading on the article, add:
<references/>
