I've been down this road before. I start with a great premise. Give my protagonist some querky characterisation and an intriguing layered inner need. Add some sub-plots and funny secondary characters. It all seems so perfect. I just need to get it down.
But everytime...and sadly this time is no exception...I find my story lost in the middle of Act 2. It has become so complicated or off track from the original story I was trying to tell that I have to step back...and perhaps start again.
It might be easier if I wasn't attracted to paranormal elements, complex time structure or epic sagas. But then these are the stories I love to read and watch.
Somehow I need to put that all aside and focus on a simple story. A classic three act structure.
And FINISH it. Submit it. Taste some success...or rejection. But I least I would be able to write THE END.
