Let's just say I was never quite good at the whole realistic fiction. In the current story I'm writing, I just realized I'm going to have to make an entire book in the real world. Before I wanted to avoid it and made the time in that world as short as possible. Now I need it longer and have no idea what to put. Help is greatly appreciated.
The plot (Labryss Chronicles: Book 2, The Dream) :
Lye returns from the strange world of Labryss- turned into a half-tamin and not remembering anything except jumping from the cliff. Desperately, he tries to fit back into society where he never really belonged, but dreams keep knawing at him. In the confusing the dreams bring, he realizes he must turn to his old enemy for help.
X_X In short, I think I could fit that into three chapters, but I need to build it and put it into about thirty.

Well, I can help with specific problems, but for something like that... Hmm. Maybe you could try to gradually ease him into normal life during every odd chapter, and have him dreaming in every even chapter. After however long it takes for him to start getting settled, he can realize what his dreams are telling him, wake up, argue with himself for a bit, then make a decision.
I think it could be a decent book length, if done gradually enough, with interesting side characters and stories that tie in with the main plot. That's always fun. 3nodding Best of luck!
Have a nice day!

writing_Kat making i meant mytyping skills ta suck. ...Wait, what?
This sentence confuses Cheese. Without the first word, 'making', it would make sense, but hence, it does not.

They return to Labryss, fight tamins, get betrayed at least twelve times, recruit slaves into an army, fight tamins again, win back the northern kingdom, die.
...but that's the third book. (Yes, I reduced the plot)
