But, I'll have to write it and then get somebody else who doesn't know what I'm doing, to read it and see. |
I've run into this little breadcrumb dilemma, at times. I find that whole loaves of bread are sometimes more effective. Though, I often use abrupt character kill-offs, and a variety of story shifts, so it may be hard to pick up the trail.
