I feel like writing a whole essay on why the 3 act story structure in the spanish princess is brilliant

[delsheree-deactivated20250503]

Story Structure: 3-Act Structure

Story Structure: 3-Act Structure https://delshereegladden.com/2021/03/08/story-structure-3-act-structure/(opens in a new tab)

One of the most commonly taught and used story structures in the 3-Act Structure. In this post I’ll break down each act and what should be in it. Act 1 – The Beginning Act one compromises about the first 25% of the story and has three main parts. Introduction: The introduction should establish who the main characters are and what their “normal” life looks like at that point in time. Inciting…

Pantser? Planner? Plantser?

I know a big question among writers is: are you a planner or a pantser? An architect or a gardener? And quite frankly, I’ve always had a difficult time answering that. But the answer, at least for me, is quite simple. I am neither, and I am both.

When I first started writing I was a pantser all the way. I got an idea, I made some new boards on Pinterest, and I started writing. However, I barely ever finished those stories.

I loved the freedom I had and the fact that I could change my mind at any time. But with that also came plot holes and inconsistency and major writer’s block. By the time I finished a first draft (if I even finished it in the first place) I didn’t want to go through and fix everything because I knew I had a shit ton of work.

So then I thought, I should plan my novels. Have a path I can follow and lessen the workload for revision. Turns out, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. I outlined that first novel and never touched it again. It felt like my creativity was restricted. So I tried again. And I did start writing it. However I wanted to go down a different path about halfway through. And I felt like I couldn’t stray from that outline. And so I quit writing the book.

And there I was, not being able to follow an outline and not wanting to have to do major revisions during my 2nd draft. I’ll be honest, I stopped writing around that time because I felt like I could not do it.

So then I did what I usually do: I consulted the internet. And so I watched some YouTube videos and found the perfect answer. 

                                              Story Structure

Or more specifically, the 3-act structure. It was the perfect blend between planning out the major events, but still having enough playroom for creative freedom as I wrote.

And so I made a document with all the major plot points following the 3-act structure. I’ll admit, it took some time and effort. But when it was done, I was proud of myself and I actually wanted to start writing.

Granted, my laptop deleted that fist document -which is another story- but I started doing it for my other stories as well. And it worked for me. 

So try to mess around a little with your writing style and how you do things. Maybe you’ve always planned your stories, but you find out that you like to dive in head first without anything except a protagonist. Or maybe you find out that you actually need a plan to bring that story to a good end.

Writing is a creative process and it’s different for everybody. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t shake it up every now and then. You might discover something new!

ok WOW i see an entire story in my head and what do i do? just go ok…this is good for me…but i don’t need to write it can i just airdrop the Concept to my writing friends and have them be like “nice” and continue on with my life

Exactly! Stories where the villain gets their comeuppance in the final act never show them faltering in the first two acts. I once saw a film actor say that if you establish early on that your hero can defeat your villain, you'll immediately lose your audience because they'll have no reason to remain interested in the hero/villain rivalry till the end. If Kylo's big comeuppance was gonna happen in TROS, he would have won the TFA duel against Rey. And he would have won the Crait battle too.

the fact that Ben lost the battle in TFA was more than just a massive clue, it was a giant flashing neon sign essentially screaming ‘he is not the villain of this story.’ and yet, hilariously, so many people worked backwards from that conclusion they’d already formed (classic confirmation bias at work) that this meant It’s Bad Storytelling. when the obvious–exact opposite–conclusion was right in front of their faces. it’s incredibly intentional storytelling letting you know in no uncertain terms that the character you thought was the cardboard villain is so much more than that and will become a protagonist in their own right.

(a classic, obvious comparison is Z/uko. he’s the first “villain” we meet, much like Ben is in TFA, and we start out with the wrong idea of him, intentionally. and then time goes on and we meet people far worse, and this person we thought was the villain is getting beaten down and defeated and suffering as much as if not more than the hero–Z/uko at the end of s1 failed just as spectacularly as Ben in TFA–compassion their “undoing” as a villain and first giant step in their redemption arc. and backsliding at the end of act 2 is also essential–getting what they thought they wanted and realizing it’s not what they wanted at all, triggering their final moral crisis and permanent heel-face turn in act 3).

I know this is for the historical accuracy. If you eat a salad expecting it to taste like a pizza you'll dislike it, not because the sald its bad but because you wanted a pizza. Same thing here, if you watch/read a FICTION work criticize it as fiction work, or watch documental.
