My 'Never Again' Muse Is In Overdrive!

missmara13I've written 3 different scenes... well... technically more like 6 scenes, but they are pairs of scenes...
See, I plan on having a LOT of flashbacks in this story, slowly pieceing together Ryan's life between Sandy becoming a drunk and the present... I kinda want the flashbacks to be in order, but on the other hand I don't think it would be such a big deal to have them out of order... I mean, most of the time it'll be really easy to line up when the flashback is... Or maybe I'll make a post that is a timeline, and every time I have a new flashback, I'll put it in the timeline of when it is, slowly filling in the blanks... that way if there's confusion about when the flashback takes place in comparison to other flashbacks, people can go look at the timeline and find out... lol... Or I could use some of my mostly empty webspace to post the flashbacks in seperate things with an index of them so people can read the flashbacks only in chronilogical order... I may do that when I finish the story, anyway... as like an extra bonus...
I think 'Never Again' might have a relatively large cast of original characters... mostly Ryan's coworkers... So far there's 5 originals in the snippets I have... Paulie, Beth, Sarah, John, and Jessie... I need to cast them all, but... I love Paulie (same character is in 'Gone So Long' as Ryan and Alex' boss at the pub) and Jessie (who is the same character as Jessie in WAW)... Beth, Sarah, and John also rock so far... lol... None of them are leads, but they do have their roles and I want to give them faces... lol...

Date: 2008-02-12 08:44 am (UTC)I think, that the flashbacks would be great if they weren't in order, 'cause if so, it's make us feel like we were in the present, you know, a flashback following another, like a day after the other. But in disorder, it'd make us take a journey in Ryan's life (yeah, i like metaphors).
Question : would you insert some present tense about Sandy's being ill?

Date: 2008-02-12 02:44 pm (UTC)Right now, I've been working on a series of flashbacks that relate to his job... explaining how he got it, and how he got to where he is with it... lol... It's not a job I've given him before, either... lol...
There will be more about what's going on with Sandy and the rest of the Cohens... don't worry... lol
