R...Welcome Erin - Good to see a new face about! :)<br /><br />Reworking the sections in non-fiction and scenes in fiction seems to be much the same thing. The sudden jarring of the reader from one subject to the next without pause is reason enough to set down an otherwise good book.Richard Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673036701755653670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722733595997958332.post-48324018089361204922010-08-10T13:02:15.569-05:002010-08-10T13:02:15.569-05:00Hi Richard- I write non-fiction so I don't ha...Hi Richard- I write non-fiction so I don't have to worry about scenes being rearranged, but I do have to worry about sections. And, yes, there have been lots of times that I've noticed the chapters felt choppy and the transitions were unadequate. I'm so glad you're looking at that, though. One of my pet peeves when reading a novel is to feel like dramatic, important scenes are juxtaposed so the impact is less.Erin MacPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665098986271579372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722733595997958332.post-16082678146483550282010-08-09T08:22:31.602-05:002010-08-09T08:22:31.602-05:00Sure have had to move around, delete, or add a bit...Sure have had to move around, delete, or add a bit. Rarely does any writing project go strictly according to plan and not need a bit of editing/revision. Well, at least that's my experience.<br /><br />I've found that writing from beginning to end, not skipping around writing scenes from different parts of the novel, and then piecing them together, works better for me and helps keep the revision work down.Terry W.
