I know I'm a day late but at least I didn't forget like I did last week...
Okay so we've been working off of a handout by Janice Bennett on Writing the Popular Novel and are now working on the editing phase of your manuscript. This week we're dealing with Chapters.
1.) Do you have your scenes arranged properly? Do they grow action, tension and emotion?
2.) Have you started each chapter with something powerful to draw the reader in? This can be an emotion or action. Have you ended you chapter with a strong hook or question that makes your reader want to continue to the next chapter?
3.) Does each chapter move both the plot and the premise?
4.) Did you stick in anything not really needed like descriptive elements like flashbacks or long boring and unnecessary narrative or introspection? (this is almost verbatim)
Next week - resolution....
