#WordWeavers 8 Aug
Is your plot linear?
Yes. With time jumps.
In my first book, I had it laid out as the MC telling the story from the point she'd be at in the 3rd section. She went back & forth from past to present. I thought it created a nice effect, an unreliable narrator who might not be sane. 😆 But my editor disagreed. She thought readers would prefer linear. So I re-wrote the entire first two sections.
