So, one of the things I’m thinking about with regards to my newly outlined story is bugging me. At one point in the story, one female character is instructing another in some… fun things. For the sake of keeping some mystery, let’s call them Mary and Jenna. There’s a chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, and another where Jenna is teaching Mary. I’ve titled the chapters’ “Mary’s lesson” and “Jenna’s lesson”. But in thinking about it more, I’m not sure if I’ve labelled them properly. The chapter where Mary is teaching Jenna, I’ve called it “Jenna’s lesson” and vice versa for “Mary’s lesson”. Should it be the other way around? Is the Mary teaching Jenna’s chapter technically “Mary’s lesson”? Because she’s the teacher in this situation.

Hi Extreme, I'll make sure I emphasise how dirty/smelly/ugly the homeless men are for you. That scene is planned for around the middle of the story, but there'll also be a gangbang by criminals towards the end (leaning towards Mexican or South American drug cartels at this stage), so lots more opportunity for ugliness and depravity there as well.

My first such story was 23 pages (and about 8,000 words). The two that I’m working on right now I’m not sure about, because each of them is split up into separate documents by subplot; later, I’ll put them all back together according to the outline. I’m finding this easier than having them all in the same document.

Or, maybe not use the character’s names in the titles? “Lesson One” “Lesson Two” might work.

Makes sense. So how long are the stories that take extra time? 30 pages? That’s usually what I have, though it’s more often chaptered.
