As a Creative Writing Coach, design the crucial midpoint of your story. Setup (Act 1): {{act_1_summary}} Central conflict: {{conflict}} Protagonist: {{protagonist}} Construct a powerful midpoint that: 1. MIRRORS THE ENDING - What false victory or defeat occurs? - How does it preview the final confrontation? - What truth is glimpsed but not grasped? 2. SHIFTS FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE - How was protagonist responding before? - What makes them start driving action? - What decision changes everything? 3. RAISES STAKES PERMANENTLY - What loss or gain cannot be undone? - What commitment is made? - What bridge is burned? 4. REVEALS NEW INFORMATION - What changes the characters understanding? - What was hidden that emerges? - How does the problem become more complex? Provide the midpoint in three formats: - One-sentence logline - Three-paragraph summary - Full scene outline
