In my second book in my Dog Leader Mysteries for middle grader kids, I’m adding three new villains, two other supportive characters and a rescued dog. I’m worried about my readers tracking over ten characters, especially a few with subplots.
Any hints for tracking subplots and character tags to help myself and my readers? I want to keep my story fun for 9 to 12 year old fans.
And yes, I have your book.
HI Martha,
In my first novel in a series of two, i wanted to know what you thought of having a character’s sister die on 9-11 that sets up the inner conflict for a character’s ongoing conflict with his family?
is that cliche? Will New York editors shy away from that? Or has the 10th anniversary lightened that heaviness?
Dear Deborah & Don,
Because my 2 posts (about Martha/Plot Whisperer being on my blog) were next to each other . . . I see now that you awesome writers posted your comments/questions on this post instead of this one http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/writers-invited-to-camp-out-here-the-plot-whisperer-martha-alderson-to-arrive-october-18-2011-on-blog-tour/ where Martha did answer questions from about 20 writers.
Martha answered Deborah’s question (even though Deborah’s comment wasn’t showing up on the latest blog post) because I had re-posted Deborah’s question when I saw it in my email notification. Don, I couldn’t figure out where your question was even though I saw it in my blog administrator panel. Talk about sleuthing
!
I’m moving your questions to http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/writers-invited-to-camp-out-here-the-plot-whisperer-martha-alderson-to-arrive-october-18-2011-on-blog-tour/ because Martha will be back tomorrow. Right now she’s getting ready to be escorted to Capitola Book Cafe by her entourage for her 7:30pm appearance.
Thank you, Deborah & Don, for giving me a mystery to solve!
Sincerely,
Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan
