Inkling
I've been struggling lately with have a story, a series of events undertaken by characters, but no good ideas of how to craft them into a narrative. I imagine it's the problem biographers and magazine writers must often have: give some big event or life, how do I make it small and approachable? To put in the terms I've used before, I've got an idea for a War of the Ring, but to get started I need a hole in the ground with a hobbit. Do other people have this problem? And, if so, what are some of your strategies for turning stories into narratives?
