| WRITING QUESTIONS, QUANDARIES & PICKLES | |
Dear Geist, How can I break up a logjam in my novel? It’s a passage about halfway through, and it’s right at the heart of the protagonist’s trouble, and I care about it. But for some reason I cannot get it to work. I’ve rewritten it four times now and every draft is more tortured than the last one. Any suggestions? —Stuck in the Middle, Sherwood Park AB | |
