this is a pic of THE dracula in my opinion when he was older. not quite as awesome but still. well, so I wrote most of my ass off and managed to get my word count caught up for nanowrimo but I came to a horrible realization. I have a MAJOR FRIGGING PLOT HOLE. yeah. I have everything set up. everyone in place. the inciting incidents happened and now I have no stinking idea how to get them to the epic showdown and resolution. it's like everyone got an invitation to a swell shin dig but they don't have a ride. this is a problem. I've got everything after that figured out so it's not like it is a total gooch. it's a transportation thing. now I'm going to have to write around it and hope that the characters can figure it out for themselves. this is when Greek drama was awesome with the old Deus Ex Machina trick would come in handy. it would blow for the reader but for the frustrated author it would be great. has anyone else ever done this?

Ouch! You're gonna have to throw in an earthquake, tropical storm, something quick and out of control to link up. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSkip over this section and write the big epic ending? Come back in revisions? Usually works pretty well for me (except my problem's usually sex scenes).
ReplyDeleteTory's idea is good because as you're writing it, you'll be asking your characters, "Wait a minute, how'd you get here? What happened? Why are you doing this?" Then you can work backwards until you get unstuck. Good luck! You can get through it!
