I started work on my first multi chapter fic today. I worked for 2 hours. I got the first chapter outlined within 15 minutes but then I ran into a ton of problems. There's certain things I want to add to the story, but I'm afraid the setup required will divert the reader's attention from the problem the amazing last chapter will resolve. Then there was a character I wanted to create. But the the status I want her to have will require something depressing to happen no matter how you slice it. I want the reader's emotion to focus on Sam and Freddie, not some side character I create. It's just one big mess. Instead of making some actual progress on the story today, I spent 2 hours realizing what a huge mess this. I took a break after the 2 hours. I have volunteer orientation for the animal shelter tomorrow. When I get home I'll take another stab at sorting through this mess. In the meantime suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
