It was good timing, because I was talking to another author, who did like chapters worth of backstory, and I thought it was the regular story. Backstory/flashbacks can easily confuse the reader. Now, having a backstory to a character can be quite useful to have, something to draw from while writing dialogue or reactions or similar, but the author should definitely focus the story on the story. Do I make sense? Does anybody make sense? I admit I’ve gotten hooked on writing those stories that are technically backstory to the other stories. At least in the case of Jefferey, the readers seem to agree that my decision and that’s good.

Second draft to episode #5 is now done, 50% longer than before. I’ll be waiting until I finish this handful of episodes before I post (to avoid a repetition of before).

BTW, how’s Daisy holding up?

Interesting thread. One way to solve the backstory is to write a separate story, though I’ve now got a bunch of WIP stories for having done that. However, if the backstory is critically important to the story, you one can always start off with that scene, then a “five years later...” or whatever, to bring it to the current setting. (Lots of stories/movies do this.)

I meant “ice skating”, not “ice scatting” in my notes of ideas …. should I dare to think about what ice scatting would entail? Hmm… sounds dangerous. Suppose Frosty the snowman could be involved with this.

@BronxWench Sounds like a better location than the one I’ve gone to. I mean, yes, the county is next to water, but the restaurant I’m referring to is at a shopping mall, not particularly scenic.

@Desiderius Price This one was right on the beach in Negril, Jamaica. Going out at night in Jamaica is sort of a walk on the wild side, and we mostly stayed at the resort, but we had to go for a sunset burger just to say we’d done it.
