marfiskI've started to create the outline and have a glorious three scenes. The beginning, the end and a moment in the middle. I just realized that my story is cyclical at least so far. It begins with a leaving and ends with a returning. Not the same character, but the same relationship at least.
In the beginning, Diggory goes off to war, leaving his love behind with the promise that they'll marry on his return.
In the end (after a whole lot of disaster), they find each other again and she returns to her home village with him. The implication is that they'll start their relationship again from the beginning. Too much has happened and time has passed for them to just start where they left off.
These things happen to me though rarely deliberately. I absorb mechanics in my reading both of fiction and non-fiction, but the decision/method of applying them is completely organic. Trust me, if I force it, it reads as "trying too hard :p."
