Hey, the chapter I'm writing about now involves teen drivers and the stupid things we do when we first get our licenses. I'm trying to figure out how to lay it out. Should I just have one crazy incident after another. I want it to be entertaining and not have it be predictable. I don't how to put it together. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it a lot.

WhAt Up cAt? I guEss THat iT woULD bE uP To yOU. ArE yOU goING OFF of rEAl eVeNtS? Maybe you could write about one specific accident, then tell it from all perspectives. Or maybe have some kind of story that follows around one car. It could start of brand new, then have it be sold to a twenty year old. Then have some stories about him\her till they sell it, then you could have a sixteen year old kid buy it. Maybe you want more owners or not, just an idea

that's an interesting idea but I'm think about more having it set up like separate isolated incidents. I'm just trying to figure out how to link them up. Or do you even think I have to? Could I just separate them into different sections within the chapter?

Well actually I am tring to do the same thing. My idea has to do with the place I work. I want to tell a story about each type of person that comes into my store. Kind of like a whole bunch of short stories, but with one common theme. Is this what you are thinking, or are you think something diffrent. Something when there is no common theme?
