You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

I love the movie. I don’t treat it and the book as the same thing, but I think it’s amazing on its own!

I’ve been writing since 2022, though I have yet to finish a project. My favorite genres to write are dystopias and fantasy.

Whaley’s response is lovely and says quite what I was going to, so I’ll only add:

Ugh. Yes, there are so many different styles of plotting that it gets hard to find one that will work for you. I’ve tried several and have eventually ended up with one that’s a sort of mix between three-act and beats, but using bullet points.

 I have yet to hit 20k in a first draft, so that is goal #1. Then beyond that, yes I am trying to hit 50k. But if I manage to hit 20-25k it’s a win in my book!

Oh yeah, 20k is always the first goal. And some of my projects never make it past that point, I’ll admit.

His character is pretty mysterious and trying to figure out what he’ll say next is an adventure every time!
