chapter 3... what to do


J.T.

728 views

So I'm still stuck on Chapter 3 right now... it's been officially 3 months since Chapter 2 came out and I'm no closer to finding a solution that I was 3 months ago... which sucks... I know...

 

So in order to keep myself interested in the story, here's a "poll"... do you think I should write an additional "character building" chapter with Jack and Dr. Browning before the good stuff begins? I'm thinking that it'd gauge interest in the plot and potentially expose details about Jack that could potentially help me solve the current Chapter 3/5 dilemma

How did I not know you had a blog?

 

Tough question. I think I had 2 chapters of expo before real stuff started happening, but what works for one story won't necessarily work for another. You don't want to rush things, either. Any way to combine the character building w/ the action? Maybe the action could start towards the end of the chapter? If you need to put in info to make future chaps work, then I guess another chapter of exposition might be a necessity.

 

Well, I'm not sure that was helpful at all. :P

If you're that stuck why not just jump straight into the good stuff. You can explain things as you go along.

 

If you;re reallly really stuck find a good beta and talk things over with them. They will know where you're going with the plot and can give you some ideas as to how to get there
