Keep revealing new stuff. Even if the plot is different, if readers don’t learn anything new about the characters or the world, it can feel like the same basic book all over again. Show new aspects of the world, the characters, the problems, the stakes, etc."<br /><br />That seems like the perfect advice for ensuring new conflict arise and to ensure there isn't a fall into a formulaic rut.<br /><br />Thanks so much!Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.com
