Too Easy

What am I working on this week? Glad you asked.

I’m reworking some chapters of Next Time just a bit. I’d made it too easy for the narrator in the last section of the book and decided he needed more conflict.

Was the previous story okay? Yeah, it was, but everything fell into place too easily. That’s not why people read stories. They want to see the characters struggle and come out on top. In other words, they have to earn it. I could have left the last several chapters alone but if I wasn’t happy then readers wouldn’t be.

The ending chapter is fine, although I think it needs to be more vivid in tone and setting. I’ll work on that in the coming week. For now, I have a little rewriting to do.
