Yeah, that's what I do too, but I meant like plot problems. Where early on you say something and then contradict it later or something . . . Umm . . . it's hard to explain. Okay, firstly, I have this character who's caught up by the actions of other people and doesn't really have much choice. He's confused, but not self-pitying, but at the same time he wants to fight the people he works for, so effectively, he fights what he's become. I'm stuck because I can show him as good and bad, the two sides that confuse him, as well as a mixture, but it makes him too unpredictable and thus, I get lots of inconsistancies with the plot . . . Also, like little things. I found this one while editing: A character had a phone and then when he got up, the phone is forgotten . . . But it's boring to explain what happens to the phone, you have to fit it in somehow.  Or you say that a character does something, when they're already doing it (eg: sitting down), but you don't realise.Other things are like discriptions that change, etc. and how locations fit together without messing up timing. If a character needs to get somewhere, and it's far away, then they can't just appear in the other place. I think it's more of a problem with longer stories than short ones, though. |
