@FilmCritHULK Question: I don't know if it's a term or if I'm making shit up. Primary climax at the end of part/act 1 while slowing the pace and then a Secondary climax and third act conclusion? Is that a thing? Or am I just renaming/misunderstanding the technical bits of writing
If it feels like too much momentum, you might either be rushing it or cutting of conflicts before they have time to explode (and change the nature of the conflict sooner). Look at big scenes and think "how could this come to a head now? what would that change?" ... maybe???

Hmmm no you're right. The motivations I have right now aren't inHERENTly diametric between the characters. So far only two of them have clearly defined wants and needs. The rest are almost really well placed set pieces in motion...

When you say change the nature of the conflict, do you mean allow characters to evolve their understanding of the problems they face? Or evolve the stakes of why they want what they want? jw
