It happened YET AGAIN — I found a “better way” to structure the first few chapters of the novel. A lot of these problems come from how strict and arbitrary my personal rules about how to lay out POVs during the course of an individual chapter.
Hopefully, when I write my next few novels, that won’t be a problem because I’m going to play it safe — single (male) POV written in first person. Then everyone — but me — will be happy. Ugh.
But I THINK I have the first three chapters figured out. Now I have I have to see if I can game out the fourth, fifth and sixth chapters before the sun implodes.
My goal is to reach some sort of milestone by, say, Thursday. If that happens, then I can at least feel like I’ve reached a point where I can press forward into the second half of the first act.
