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

What is the Inciting incident in the story of Cinderella?
The inciting incident of Cinderella is when the invitation is sent out to all the eligible women in the land, but her stepmother refuses to let her go. Keep in mind that an inciting incident must incite the character, causing an emotional response that will result in the character taking action. The actual action a character take is almost always some time after when the inciting incident occurs. This gives the character and the reader time to consider what action should be taken as a result of this emotional affront. In the case of Cinderella, enough time passes for the stepsisters to head off to the ball. Cinderella then chooses to take action. Depending on which version we are referring to, this action varies. In some versions, she makes a wish. In some versions, this is where the fairy godmother comes into the picture. But in all cases, Cinderella makes the decision to go to the ball against the wishes of her step-family as a result of the emotions she feels when the inciting incidentoccurs.
