We have been writing our novel, Rise of the Lynden League, for about two years and are now embarking on our first major edit, which means taking stuff out and putting more stuff in!
Ideas for new stuff:
Easter egg hunt
Shop frolics
Farm frenzies
Sporting event
More fund raising
Storyline criticisms/suggestions:
Stick with the common goal of the Lynden League of Ladies
Slow down the pace of the action
End on a cliff hanger
Start in the school - flashbacks to main characters' journey and arrival
Keep the humour going
Not sure about what to take out yet. It'll go into the sequel, of course.
Well, it's a start! Will it be another two years in major edit? At least we'll be having fun...
Hi Julie THis looks great and should be fun to do. Mary
