The Clue
(writing “filler” piece #7- optional)
This piece can be placed at any point in your story where you need to make a connection between pieces (i.e. the transition between #4 and #5 doesn’t make sense- this allows you to smooth that over).
Task: choose one of the forms that you like (description, reportage, interior monologue, straight narration with dialogue) and write a “filler piece”. This should “fill” any holes in your plot and help move your plot in the direction that you want it to.
Questions to ask yourself/ things to think about:
1. Where am I missing information?
2. What needs to be worked out and how do I move my audience to the final show-down and the solution to my mystery?
