An update on the earlier entry today.
The freakishly weird storyline I was talking about didn't work...at all.
I tried reading it out loud to Linda and it didn't even make sense to me. So I guess there is a reason no one has tried ending a book with a series of flashbacks.
There is an easy solution. I simply remove a couple of the scenes and make them their own chapters earlier in the book. The only reason I wasn't doing that is because they have to be 3rd person, but told from the POV of characters whose heads we haven't been in before.
Up to now, I've had Virginia's third person thread, which is the main storyline, with two other stories lines told first person through diaries and journals.
But since I have had the third person narration all along with Virginia, I don't think this late in the book it will bother anyone if I go third person with other people. I doubt anyone will notice.
At least, they'll notice less than if I tie myself into narrative knots trying to stick to a first person diary format.
Why can't this be easy?
