I have the opposite problem—my beginnings are often (though not always) relatively intact from first to final draft, but endings present a massive challenge for me. <br /><br /><br />I can understand how a complicated inciting incident would make figuring out the opening a little more complicated. CPs and betas can be great for figuring out if an opening is/isn't working, though!Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-23126982813655998212015-06-22T15:20:31.304-07:002015-06-22T15:20:31.304-07:00Ugh.

I can plot the rest of a novel and I'm great at endings but on most novels, I'll rewrite openings some two to five times. Once ten times. Its hard to tell how much info you need to get out before the inciting happens and sometimes I shoot myself in the foot by making my inciting incident and ensuing plot too complicated. Woot.<br />Really good vlog as usual!Aimee Hyndmanhttp://kallypsowrites.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-16988502067823832832015-06-17T18:21:08.972-07:002015-06-17T18:21:08.972-07:00Woot!
