I have a plot, I have characters, I have motivations and outcomes. What I'm worried about is that this won't be 50k words.
If I write up a few scenes from a different character's viewpoint, that's still part of the 50k words, right?
Of course it counts!! Iain Pears wrote a fanastic novel An Instance of the Fingerpost which is set in 17th century England and utilizes the viewpoints of four different characters to tell the tale. He was able to add people, places, events, and motives to each recounting while keeping the story moving forward. Go for it!
My story is going to be set at the Scout camp/High Adventure Base I worked at durring summers throughout college. It's quite a place and tests youngsters on many levels. My main character is a young man, about 15, who is thrust into a leadership position. The story is about how he grows in character and learns about himself and others on a rough backpacking trip, and how his crew of misfits emerge as lifelong friends. I'm drawing from memories (this whole project started as a memoir and then took on a life of its own) of my own adventures, those of my friends, and those of the amazing kids I've met over the years. I'm excited about the possibilities here.
