Now that I had the story line going, I needed to work on my
pacing. In order to do that my sister/editor showed me a great tool. It
basically is for each scene in a chapter. Each chapter should have 3-5 scenes.
1. What is the character's problem?
2. What is stopping the problem from being solved?
3. What is the complication that prohibits problem from being
solved?
4. How does character solve the problem?
Bridge
Next Scene
It looks easy, but when you start to look at each scene and then
have to decide what does the character actually want . . . I had a lot of
thinking to do.
