The Domino Effect

Domino is a small set of oblong pieces adorned with dots (or pip) at each end, used for playing dominoes games in which one or multiple players place them in long lines in an attempt to tip one and cause all others to fall over simultaneously, often with complex designs.

Dominoes (also referred to as bones, cards, men or pieces) come in all sorts of shapes and sizes; with each end bearing an array of pips that indicate its value. Double six dominoes are most often seen arranged so as to resemble dice with six sides when played; their ends may even mirror what numbers would appear when throwing two six-sided dice at once! The first known domino game dates back to 1300s AD!

Figuratively speaking, “domino effect” refers to any situation where one event triggers similar or related ones; when used literally it refers to actual dominoes that fall over each other; for example if you knock over one of the large white dominoes on the board it can trigger all the other dominoes to fall – this cascade effect is known as The Domino Effect.

Domino’s may be best-known for their pizza and restaurant food offerings, but they also make headlines as one of the leading delivery companies. Domino’s recently began testing autonomous vehicles as part of its delivery service offering, aligning perfectly with its value of “think global and act local,” emphasizing customer service that is efficient and responsive.

Domino’s has long been recognized for its innovative corporate culture. CEO Steve Doyle has promoted employee input through various initiatives. Furthermore, he publicly apologized for any mishaps the company may have committed such as sending food delivery services to an incorrect address.

Novel writing uses similar logic when it comes to plotting. No matter whether your manuscript is composed on the spot or with careful outline planning, plotting involves answering one key question: What happens next? Thinking through how a domino effect could change the overall plot is key to providing an answer that engages your reader. After all, each scene should either move your protagonist closer or further from their goals. An overly long or short scene will quickly lose its momentum and become tedious to watch, while one that repeats too closely will feel repetitive. The domino effect can help you avoid these traps by placing each scene at its appropriate place within your plot.
