How to Write a Novel with the Three-Act Structure

The three-act structure is one of the most popular plot structures, and most other plot structures are based on it! Even unintentionally, most stories fit the three-act structure in some way, because they have a beginning, middle, and end. Because it's a structure that applies so widely, it's also one of the best to study and learn from, especially if you want a structure that's not too rigid.
