most stories have a "hero" figure that must go through obstacles to get to his final goal. For example in "The Odyssey" Odysseus is trying to get home after the Trojan War but he angered the God Poseidon who used the power of the sea to prevent him from reaching his homeland. The inciting incident would be how he angered the god becasue this led to all the trials that Odysseus must face to get home.

So, look at the story you are working on and what led to your character beginning their quest, journey etc. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be a journey or quest in the real sense of actually travelling somewhere it could be a quest for knowledge, self-understanding, freedom etc. Anne Frank's inciting incident would have been her mother getting the letter from the Nazis to report to the concentration camp leading her

In Physics, the intersection of a line, or something moving in a straight line, such as a beam of light, with a surface.

Incidence is the rate of occurrences of an event. E.g., new cases of a disease within a certain population within a given time. (e.g. the incidence of HIV could be 10 per 1000 per year)

Watch out!

"Incidence" is often confused with the related sound-alike word "incidents". An incident is a single occurrence, so "incidents" means more than one occurrence. "Incidence" is the RATE of those occurrences out of a larger group of events.
