Today, focus on this character and her/his introduction to the readers. Write about actions and dialogues of the character, to help the readers know her/him better! https://padlet.com/piyaseth/5apwav728np6b891/wish/1964981177 2021-12-27 04:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/piyaseth/5apwav728np6b891/wish/1964981177 You have created a strong foundation of your story now- a well developed setting, characters and now you can expose the main event in the story, to your readers.

Remember, this is the most important event in the story... The entire foundation was set to convey this event. https://padlet.com/piyaseth/5apwav728np6b891/wish/1964984137 2021-12-27 04:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/piyaseth/5apwav728np6b891/wish/1964984137
