Another Beginning

This novel is following the 'Three Act Structure' commonly used. The first quarter of the book is the introductory Act 1, the next two quarters are the main story part as Act 2 and Act 3 is the climax and denoument, the final quarter of the book.

I always struggle with beginnings. Middles and ends I'm quite good at, but overcoming inertia, finding the right place, it's a struggle for me. Once I got going, completing Act 1 has been fun, but now in Act 2, my heroine is in a whole new situation, a new environment and other characters. It's just like having to write another beginning! So I've jerked and stuttered my way through the awkwardness again and am now into the interesting bits. Hopefully more new and interesting things will crop up as did while writing Act 1, and I'll manage to continue into Act 3, where everything comes together, without this annoying second-guessing.
