The language of TV and screenwriting is constantly changing, just like everything else in the universe – well, our little corner of it anyway – and this TVWriter™ minion has to admit that sometimes even I don’t know what people way smarter than I do are talking about.
Case in point: The phrase “Inciting Incident.” This term has had me scratching my head for years. Does it replace “The Call to Action?” or does it supplement it? I never was able to figure it out till I saw this article on the interwebs last week.
Ah, enlightenment at last! Thank you, Script Reader Pro!
