No internet. Only sleep.

My internet access currently works on a "if the wind is right and the tide is high" basis. So I have been napping more than usual and also reading. On occasions I get to pet the neighbourhood cat.

Anyway. I thought I could use the time to figure out how the middle third of this story is supposed to go but as always I am stuck on the middle-y bits. Does anyone have any advice? Like in general.

I'm sorry about your internet connection.

As to middle-y bits, sometimes it can help to make a list of the state of things in your story's beginning and then tie each point to a list of the state of things at the end of your story. Then you can take note across each arrow of what's going to have to happen to get from A to B. That's the outline of your middle-y bits.

Hm, when you put it like that I guess my issue is less "what's in the middley bit" but more "how do I make it interesting". Progress?
