How to Write Rising Action in Act II

We can break it down into average percentages. This is what readers generally expect: the beginning is 25% of your story, the middle is 50% and the ending is 25%. And yet, most of what has been written about writing a story focuses on writing the beginning or the end. Why? Well… because it’s easier to explain.
