the wizards of Imagi.... HELP!!
by Author of the Universe Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:50 am
Ok, so, I started my book in November and have had a really good time writing it, but now I'm stuck... I might be able to work my way out of it, but it might help if I had a few suggestions... You know, some help... Please?

Leaving the ends of chapters at a cliffhanger always makes the reader want to continue reading. They wanna know what happens next!

As a reader, I know how that feels! I left it with a small cliffhanger, enough to keep them interested, but not to much so they won't get to upset at me...but now I'm stuck..
(sometimes leaving big cliffhangers is awesome though! Who cares if the readers get mad? There's a whole other chapter for them to read after their tantrum. That's what writing is all about! To help people feel emotion!)

Is it beginning the next chapter that's got you stuck, or leading up to the cliffhanger?

Ah. Well, what is the end of the previous chapter? Usually, I'd just write on through thinking it wasn't separated from the previous chapter (though it is).
Example:
blah blah blah...
And that's when Caroline saw the thing she feared the most!
Chapter 8943
Standing in front of the small six year old girl was a monstrous rainbow colored clown!!!
blah blah blah...

Well, it's sort of set up so that the story continues later on, possibly later that week...

I get it. So being telling that story then. Does someone wake up? Because if so, you should probably start with that person waking up. Or perhaps you could start it off humorously. Like a conversation where people are getting mad at one another because of a silly problem. Then once you get that out of the way, you can begin to explain some of the things that went on that week.

oh, ok... So, Erik has been nodding off, and as he jerks himself awake once again, he reflects upon the week, not only showing why he's so dang tired, but also what has been going on!

well, I moved on to the next chapter because I couldn't figure out where I was going in the last chapter, but I need help deciding if it would just be for the better if I deleted that one "chapter"... I can show it to you if you'd like so that you can help me decide...

k, here it is!
Julia swirled around in perfect spins, almost like a dance, but far more deadly because instead of ribbons in her hands, she had knifes. Still, it was beautiful to watch- but from a safe distance. Julia had been working on her weapon skills, finding the rhythm of it soothing and beautiful.
Will was watching her from the safe distance, mouth hanging open in aw. Will knew he was good, but he paled in comparison to Julia. Once she found her rhythm, Will had a very hard time keeping up, let alone staying up! They used to spar with each other, but that quickly died away as soon as Will had to heal himself almost nightly.
I just don't know where to go with it and it seems to be irrelevant, but I was wondering if there would be any way to make the time I spent writing it worth while... Will was watching her from the safe distance, mouth hanging open in aw. Will knew he was good, but he paled in comparison to Julia.

Well, I think it's an important part of the story. It illustrates the relationship between Will and Julia. So Why is Julia dancing at that moment? Are they being attacked? Are they just practicing? If they are being attacked, describe some more elements of the battle. If Julia is just practicing, then you could add some dialog between her and Will.
