And Then It Hit Me

Bam.

There it is.

My reason for procrastination.

How can I write a novel and its sequel, when I only know the main character really well?

Oh, I know other characters' pasts (some of them are quite interesting, others are bland).

I know plenty about personalities, etc.

What I am missing is what they do in the story, interact in it, and change it.

Oh, Raine and Kallie's relationship (originally planned to be very hostile) was a complete surprise to me when they ended up working quite well together.

In fact, I probably should have realized that when they keep on acting like best friends in my mind when I'm writing (seriously).

So, here's my strategy plan:

Don't start editing again until after I have:

A. Gone through a few scenes from different characters PoV

B. Map out where the most important characters are and what they are doing throughout the book

Hah.
