I’m at the point in my revisions on BEYOND THE PROPHECY
where I have to balance multiple threads of the story. I now have major characters in three different locations doing three different things in support of the main goal.
Things get complicated at this point. I have to keep the timeline straight. Does Event A actually belong in chapter 30, or should it happen after the events–in another location with different characters–in chapter 32? Moving whole chapters around isn’t too difficult, but remembering what any given character should know if I move that chapter might be.
Add in that I don’t want any one of those three characters to get left out of the plot for too long and it becomes a real balancing act.
Progress slows a bit at this point for a reason.
