In this episode we tackle Chapter 7 of Lianna's WIP: She Lies Along the Pearling Path and talk about what makes a slow or reflective chapter versus a chapter that is building up tension to big conflict. We revisit the recurring frustration of: "Well, it can't all go in Chapter 1!" We dig into continuity issues (why must our edits create additional needs for changes!!!), and get deep into character. We talk everything from character continuity, motivation, and relationships, to showing thought progression on the page. And we also determine that polo shirts and Hawaiian shirts fit in the same genre of clothing!
