I think I’ve tried to stuff too much into my First Plot Point scene, between the hero learning of the threat against her, to a fight between her protectors – the guide and best friend. The latter threatened to derail the scene, especially since its from the hero’s perspective and I can only talk about observations. I’ll probably have to rein it in on revisions.
My next challenge is to weave in how the best friend hates the semi-magic ability that the hero has dedicated her life to while keeping that from stalling the scene, as well.
Yeah, I definitely set myself too much to do in this one brief scene. But at least I do not need to resolve all the conflicts before the curtain falls. I have an out coming that should push the action along and leave the various tensions simmering. I just have to get to it.
