My current story project is a challenge. With two point-of-view characters of equal importance, the story passes back and forth between them, scene by scene, as it progresses. I put a lot of effort into designing the story, but ultimately, the finished outline was little more than a list of plot point events that guide me through the story’s structure. I know less about the details that lead from plot point to plot point than I typically do when I write a story. The story is still on track, but there are times I must pause to think about what happens next. It’s challenging, but fun. And, I’m learning a lot.
