They're something I need to get better at. It's good that you're about to weave them so well into your stories.<br /><br />Idbiamond -- Thanks. I think you're right that humor is very helpful for the in between. A little bit of a laugh never hurt anyone.<br /><br />Stephanie -- I think you bring up something interesting. The filler should do good things for your story. Character development is definitely good.Kelsey (Dominique) Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10646757546422013401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966097532659996793.post-67373541407192146332010-01-28T13:47:56.136-05:002010-01-28T13:47:56.136-05:00I like filler that develops characters.

Love the Violet font color!!!
Inter...Great post!!! Love the Violet font color!!!<br /><br />Interestingly, I think I have more filler in the beginning chapters of my novel. It is important to find a balance between giving the reader a break in the action while at the same time not boring them to death until the next thing happens. Humor works nicely in the "between" too. <br /><br />There's lots to think about here, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966097532659996793.post-1484315589591021532010-01-28T06:49:06.445-05:002010-01-28T06:49:06.445-05:00I think filler for me are the sub-plots I weave in...I think filler for me are the sub-plots I weave in and around the main plot in any of the stories I write. Like I said yesterday I have a main, then I have a lesser or two. <br /><br />Like you pointed out with Harry and the Quidditch, it's a smaller plot point, will Harry win the game, or stay on his broom, or smack Malvoy upside the head? Good for a ride but not the main conflict.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
