Three Key Scenes

There is the holy trinity in the Christian religion, the holy trinity as a culinary term in all sorts of cuisine and, I hope it is not sacrilege, the holy trinity in stories. Perhaps it's a bit wacky to use the term in plot... what can I say? 

The three cornerstone scenes in all novels, memoirs and screenplays are:

• The End of the Beginning
  
• The Crisis
  
• The Climax

However, there is another trio that is my very favorite in the Universal Story because of the power these three scenes produce in stories and in our lives as writers and people.

• The build-up to 
  
• The Crisis
  
• The threshold 

I've been admonished for being a bit heavy-handed in these three videos. Please forgive me. My passion often overtakes me.
