Five Stories
What is this "Five Stories" you speak of?
When your action adventure is in need of plot, look here.
Action adventure stories have five main types of plot.
REVENGE
Your hero was offended by the villain. This could be: left for dead, killed relative or love interest, or did anything else to make hero angry. Now, your hero is out for revenge. Think Hamlet.
ESCAPE/SIEGE
The hero is trapped and has to find a way out with the use of cunning, skills, weapons, or other tools and methods. A typical place to escape from could be a prison. Think Count of Montecristo.
ASSASSINATION
Related to revenge, this plot will have a lone hero or group of heroes go after someone who did something evil in the past or present. This hero or group may or may not have feelings about the deed to be done. It could be for money, fame, or because "it's the right thing to do." Think James Bond and his many adventures.
OPPRESSION
The hero defends a group of helpless victims from getting abused by a villain. The hero will usually do this one out of the goodness of his heart or for love. Think The Hunger Games.
KIDNAP
The hero didn't pay attention and someone stole a person near to his heart. Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills comes to mind in his role as a father whose daughter gets Taken, Taken 2, and Taken 3!!!

For my last Action/Adventure newsletter "Writing: A Roller Coaster" , I got the following replies:
SkyHawk - Into The Music  wrote: Octobersun,
you're right, writing can be a pretty wild adventure. And sometimes, you learn things about a character that you never knew (or put into the bio you crafted for them). In one case, I learned that a character in one of my NaNoWriMo projects some years ago had been a widower for some years, losing his wife to the effects/complications of a stroke she suffered while asleep one night. And another character had been divorced from his wife (at her insistence) while he was serving in the first Desert Storm conflict, with no custody of their three kids. I had not planned any of this; it was the adventure of writing that put it on the page before I fully realized the background.
It is truly amazing what those characters do to our books.
