Someone stole my thesaurus today. Not only am I angry, I'm also angry.

So if you move the inviting incident to the beginning of the book, how do you structure the rest of the story? Do you move the other beats up too? Does the “break into 2” or “Journey Begins” point still take place at 25%? #WritingCommunity
Replying to @lololeereverie
Love it. I do this. I don't need pages and pages of backstory. I can get to know the character in how they deal with the inciting incident. I can find out about backstory in snippets of introspection. The ordinary world is rarely important.

Just finished @DBCarterAuthor story in the Tales Untold anthology from @ravensnrosespub Very good tale. Holmes, or perhaps Moriarty, would be proud.

I've always written short fiction but have just started a novel. So this never occurred to me. HOW do you keep track of chapters? One long Word document with each chapter embedded, one after another? A separate file for each chapter, then copy and paste end to end????

Here is your friendly reminder (and mine) that the first draft of your novel can and should absolutely suck.
