I'm trying to climb a mountain called a first draft but I keep getting lost! I've heard that some manuscripts are harder than others, but this one's making me WORK!

AITA I (29F) went to my childhood BFF's wedding to let the groom know we have a kid together. Now he's mad at me (?) for not telling him about the kid, and the bride is dead, and everyone thinks I did it?? AITA? My only crime is loving him too much 💔

Types of story conflict:

Internal - character's opposing mental/emotional needs

External - one character’s needs keeps another character from their own

Social - character needs=socially unacceptable in some way

Environmental - something in setting stops character from reaching goal

Somehow, all of these threads must weave together to form a cohesive story
What is the common thread and focus on that
For example, in Big Little Lies, we had multiple POV and multiple timelines (before and after "the event"), but the common thread was what happened that night
What advice would you give a new writer attempting multi-POV to ensure a cohesive and effective narrative?

Asking as someone who wrote a multi-POV, is pretty sure she didn't pull it off, and is now looking for an Extreme Makeover: Manuscript Edition 😅
here I go adding yet another book to my TBR 😅

#litagents I'm a beta for this book and I cannot recommend it enough. It takes you on a ride that's equal parts weird, thought-provoking, and delightful. I laughed out loud. I cried. I was grossed out. And through all of that, the puppets start a totalitarian government. What else can you ask for?
Come join us, friend! Don't be shy. THE HUGGLEBEEZ love meeting new pals!

✨ HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE x SESAME STREET✨

Michelle (16) must find a way to escape Huggsburg and its sinister puppet residents before her sins are found out.
