Writing 30/30 – Day 6
Alright, so one problem solved, at least. I’ve managed to wrinkle out one of the major plot holes in a way that makes consistent logical sense and should allow the story to move forward. That leaves one major hurdle in the storyline that I just can’t seem to shake.
It really makes you wonder if everybody goes through this sort of thing or not. How many times have novelists come up with something that seems like a great idea at the time, but then falls apart later once you start to get into the details? I’m sure it happens a lot, there are certainly plenty of examples of movies or tv shows where the plot or character motivations get really thin at certain points. Why did that thing happen? Because the movie needed to movie, and couldn’t movie otherwise. I’m trying my best not to be the kind of guy that writes those things, but it does pose a problem sometimes.
