Good Plot: Newton's Second Law Writing Hacked 16| free writing lessons
Disclaimer: PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER!
I have no formal education in creative writing or literature whatsoever. I learned everything by myself through youtube, reading, research, understanding, and writing away as much as I can. I make a lot of mistakes whether it be grammatical or any other kind. I hope you can point them out and help me correct it so I can learn more. I will try my best to provide you errorless guidance though. I am not going to pretend to know everything because I really don't. I have a lot to discover yet.
Whatever I am going to tell you here is through my own understanding and experience. Enjoy.

⚡HOW TO USE NEWTON'S 2nd LAW OF MOTION TO CREATE A GOOD PLOT⚡
🔴Newton's Second Law Of Motion.
🔸The second law states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the force applied,
Or, for an object with constant mass, that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by the acceleration.
🔸Momentum: the ability to keep increasing or developing; the force that makes something move faster and faster.
Plot is only thrilling when it has some laws of its own because it makes us feel natural.
Nobody wants to watch/read a story where things are often acting without any sense just to progress the plot to meet an ultimate goal.
This is mistake usually done by many amateur writers and is often seen in children's story books.
🌺There are two ways a plot can progress, either you pull it, or it drives itself.🌺
Small children doesn't have much knowledge of laws in practicality so they don't mind what happens as long as it's entertaining with some morals in the end. So things just kind of happen in such stories.
But people who have tasted good plots knows how amazing it is when the plot drives itself. 😎
To see it all unfurl once the status quo has just ended and action has begun. What happens now?😮 The main character is on a journey, we have grasped the audience attention, so what now? How do we make it exciting now?🥲
This is where second law of motion rescues us!✋
If we take a closer look, from one perspective we can see that it speaks about desperation in the language of drama. Of course, you can perceive it in various ways. But let us discuss this view once.
We want our readers to know that character is desperate to do something and this ability is largely based on it's character traits.
What drives this character depends upon how you have created it. Some are driven by love, most of them money etc. You can check out how to make characters and character motivations in other Writing Hacked lessons. Just search #writinghacked, it's free🥳
Now,
Often, we see that once the character has begun a journey, the reasons that brought them here weren't enough to keep going. This is when story gets boring. 😴
Some writers might not see it as an inconvenience and continue regardless but thats when they lose the chance to make it dramatic and riveting.
🌿Example: When Ned Stark came to King's Landing, the purpose of 'why-go-there' was served. What now? He runs his duty as Hand of the King but he doesn't like it there. This place is disliked by his men and younger daughter too.
So, we know this is the time when you have to act. Use the key element of excitement: Desperation.💁
People have higher chances of making mistakes since they are acting out of their emotions, not mind when they are desperate.🥴
How do we portray it?🧐
✨Priorities✨
or as per the law, force and acceleration 🤓
They drive the plot forwards and which thing is more important than the other is decided by character as per the momentum each of them carry.
Some priority demands immediate attention as per its value while other might have more threat but they might not be so urgent.
🌿Example:
Ned Stark may have come to King's Landings of South to protect the King and solve the murder of Jon Arryn but that doesn't mean he is going to stand next to the King with his sword ready while he carries out his interrogation.
He had other important things to do. After all, he was here as Hand of the King.
Like, Royal treasury was in debt. King had no money but he still wanted to organise games.
Things didn't run here as he had supposed.
So his first priority was to solve that matter, the bigger goals (King's protection etc) were not in in priority. 🙅
But that isn't much exciting right? That's filling the plot. The momentum is low, forces are acting but acceleration is almost negligible.
But what happens when a threat comes? His younger daughter Arya is lost. Prince Joffery says she tried to hurt/kill him. Hurting a Prince could cost you your life, and to Ned, he wasn't just a Prince but his friends son and his Lannister mother, Cersei wanted punishment.
Ned's priority immediately changed.
Tension was in the air.🥶
His daughter could be anywhere or worse dead. If Lannister men found her, they would have taken her to Cersei and she would have done whatever she saw fit. His dislike for Lannister increased greatly, the desperation increased greatly and the excitement increased... greatly
When this matter was solved, the peak of emotions dropped. For a while things were usual. But then again just when he thought he could use time to solve Jon Arryn's murder, his wife Cat paid him an unexpected visit and revealed that their young son was attacked in Winterfeell with a high value dagger.😠
Life of his own child was threatened. And they learned it was done by a Lannister. His emotions reached its peak and in these emotions he made mistake of trusting the manipulator, Petyr Baelish without giving much thought. His desperation to solve Jon Arryn's murder and collect proof against Lannister was increased considerably now that things were personal.
🌺One man's desperation became other man's excitement.
During all these events, the main character's priority changes again and again, from performing his duty to protect his family, to bring justice. All depending on the force with which things came, and how quickly they escalated. This accelerated the plot by heightening the stakes.
All these problems arose and came between his ultimate goal.
The purpose of all this: Things didn't get boring while other important things happened.
It also drove him closer to his ultimate goal in a natural and thrilling way.
Here we see revenge, drama and action and all those things that gives a life to a world created by words.
The character traits were revealed, character development took place, story progressed to ultimate goal, story world was explored and all in smoothly exciting manner💯
Again, there won't be an exciting story to tell if the journey wasn't adventurous and costed the characters nearly everything.
Nobody likes reading about a half-assed attempt at something and this is the lesson I am still trying to learn.
So, this was Newton's second Law: Writing Hacked.
