But, I do believe you want to have a solvable problem very early on (the reader will know what final success will look like), and keep that through-line that your protagonist is working toward. Depending on your twist, you might want to add a set of elements - Quotes that start your chapters, or another character trait for your protagonist that relates and is evident in the opening scene. Sleep on it--maybe your subconscious will provide an elegant device for you. ;-) @TotumusMaximus | |
