Writing tips
Stuck in the middle with you
5 January 2010
by Michèle Roberts
I have found that when the middle of a piece, whether a story or a novel, feels sticky, it may be a good idea just to cut it out completely. Or as an exercise try writing the ending first, then jumping back to the beginning, overleaping the middle, and again you may find you simply don't need the middle at all.
