I started writing a story about a year ago. I got it up to about 46,000+ words. I haven't written much on it in quite a while.... But earlier I was thinking about a certain part that always made me lose faith in my own ability to write(one of the reasons I gave up on writing it) but I think I have figured out a way to fix it.
The basic plot is Jesse is wanted by two opposing forces. The Revolution wants to kill her, and the Resistance is trying to save her. It's based in the time era of Lord of the Rings or Eragon. Aiden was sent by the Revolution to retrieve Jesse and and bring her to Lord Dolavan to kill her. On the way he was ambushed my other Revolution members and barely escapes. He then travels to Jesse's village, at which point the story switches from Aiden's 'veiw' to Jesse's 'veiw'(it's all third person, so if that makes sense.) Jesse wakes up the next day after Aiden is ambushed. The house usually smells of food her mom has cooked for Jesse and her father for when her mom goes to work at the king's castle in the next village. But this day it isn't. Jesse goes to the living room where her parents inform her they are having another baby. This is where I start disliking things. Since the story is pressed for time, should I leave it like it is, where Jesse runs out into the woods and meets Aiden, and then the Revolution blow up her house, or should I have her parents not tell her about the baby yet and instead have them send Jesse to the king in place of her mother, and then her find out about the baby later and then run and meet Aiden, or should I combine them where she finds out about the baby and is sent to the king? Ideas?
