'''The Concept of "The Midpoint Shift"''': Analyzing why the middle of a story is the hardest part. At the 50% mark, a good structure usually has a "Game Changer"—the hero moves from being "Reactive" (running away) to "Proactive" (attacking). This prevents the "Middle Muddle" where nothing seems to happen.
