And they're totally worth it.Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-52922160250081034642009-06-25T14:27:22.081-04:002009-06-25T14:27:22.081-04:00I recently read that Diablo Cody wrote most of Jun...I recently read that Diablo Cody wrote most of <i>Juno</i> at a Target Starbucks.

Frankie figured out the tough truth - June had the most at stake in chapter 10, so she should be its central focus. (My chapters alternate focus among the three best friends and their individual plotlines.) But according to my chapter order, Maddy should've been next. Here's how we worked around it -- I decided to make chapters 1-9 continue to run Maddy, Nina, June and then chapters 10-18 run June, Nina, Maddy, therefore giving June chapters 9 and 10, which are rightfully hers with the way the plot flows. Plus, it offers a cool, symmetrical arc to the storylines. I only needed a bit of shifting, and all the future chapters' outlines are SO MUCH STRONGER. Thanks Frankie!Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.com
