All the work done so far was leading up to this point – the Climax and the Wrap Up.
While it’s fair to assume that everyone understands that the Climax is the final showdown, where the protagonist will either achieve or fail the goal, it’s not as safe a bet to expect that the true purpose of the Climax is always that clear. Unless you’re able to tie beginning and end together in a satisfying way - confirming to the reader that this was the story they had been hoping for – the ending won’t be very enjoyable.
The Climax is created from five key events. In this episode of the Write the Story podcast, Autumn and Jesper discuss the Climax of their short story.
Once that has been achieved, they move on to the Wrap Up.
If the Climax was what made the entire book worthwhile, the Wrap Up is what sets the stage for how the novel will be remembered. It cements the final feelings or longings in the readers mind and is also where you create the setup for another book, if there is more to come.
