I did this and it works SO much better for the story...I actually got all excited AGAIN over writing the beginning! Chapter Two Switcheroo. Awesome.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the synopsis worksheet, as well. I'm definitely getting a lot out of that in preparation for the conference.Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19161923.post-61925913145183626842009-02-02T16:02:00.000-08:002009-02-02T16:02:00.000-08:00I'm glad this was helpful, Eileen!CamyI'm glad this was helpful, Eileen!<BR/>CamyCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790591988777275651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19161923.post-53762070519486685692009-02-02T11:06:00.000-08:002009-02-02T11:06:00.000-08:00Camy, I believe you just gave me my answer.

I've changed my beginning so many times over the years in search of that "something disrupting the character’s normal life" and felt that I had found it, but still it didn't seem active and engaging enough, but yet felt right in other ways. I think my problem is that I wrote that immediate 'disruptive' something in the wrong POV. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19161923.post-79162194608901769202009-02-01T14:55:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:55:00.000-08:00Aubrie, that's normal, so don't feel like you're a...Aubrie, that's normal, so don't feel like you're alone! <BR/>CamyCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790591988777275651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19161923.post-29045284190700204282009-02-01T13:10:00.000-08:002009-02-01T13:10:00.000-08:00I've changed my opening several times to every sto...I've changed my opening several times to every story I've ever written.
