Arif Hussaini asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Hi Jennifer, I would like to ask, Im a teenager, 16 years old, Ive got a bit of an idea of what kinda story that I want to write, but Im having trouble to figuring out how to make the plot of the story. Do you have any advice for people like me who wants to start writing ? And btw I really really really love the Ascendance Trilogy, it really makes my day with its thrilling plots and plot twist, thank you very much :)

Jennifer A. Nielsen Once you have the basic idea, the plot is always a series of cause and effect. So when something happens and your character reacts to that, their reaction will create a new part of the plot. Keep giving your characters more problems to constantly raise the tension and you'll soon find your plot coming together!
