Hi CWG! The situation is where a series of misfortunes begin for my main character. The events are tied together, and pile one on top the other beginning at that time, and place. Other danger is known to be in the area, danger my MC is aware of, yet I had my MC blithely ambling around even though her knowledge of the danger meant that she should be anywhere except there. The question, "why was she there?" had no logical answer. I put her there because I needed her to be there. In order to validate her presence, I had to change some rules of my urban fantasy novel's world -- from my character's abilities, to the relationship between humans and non-humans. I had to restructure many aspects of the entire story to be consistent with the new rules. All of that was necessary because I forgot to really look at the beginning of my story, and make sure that the main character had a logical reason for being present. My bottom is still sore from kicking myself. ;)
I hope your schedule improves, allowing you more time to write. :)
cenwolfgirl:
oops
normally my beginings are not the bits i have problems with
the endings another story
i have to restructore a lot of my book but don't have time and am half way though writing it
i foolishly decided that i could put the three sepiret books together as they all follow on from each other and now i have to do some tweaking also i think i have got a chr in two places at the same time
::)
oh well learning expirences
must look on the bright side
wont have time to do any of this for 4 weeks :(
Naomi:
Combining three books into one sounds like an epic undertaking. Good on you, CWG!
I haven't put a character in two places at once (not yet, anyway -- give me time), but I have misplaced secondary and tertiary characters. I'll put a character into a scene, and then forgot they are there. The next time I write a scene where that character is integral, I have to go back through my writing to find where I last left them. ::)
cenwolfgirl:
