Ok I have a little dilemma and I think I may sort of be cheating if I try to fix it.
One chapter is just simply getting too long. I have 2 characters who were traveling from point A to point B. Now they arrived at point B after many pages. So I suppose I could add some sort of BREAK in this area and try to jump to somewhere else in the story, perhaps another character doing something else, then return back to this area.
However, when I return back, I want it to basically be instantaneous from when I left off. But if I have the (inserted chapter) taking up some time elsewhere, that is representing time passing by and will perhaps look strange to the reader when I am continuing later exactly where I left off.
[FONT="]Now perhaps I am just looking too deep, or too technical in this time issue. I know other authors do this sometimes and it always caught me a little strange.[/FONT]
