Hi I'm currently working on a fan ficton story for the Planet of the Apes films. I have a good chunk of the story planned out but I'm having a hard time writing it down. I have the middle and the end planned out perfectly and I hardly have 10 paragraphs,what should I do?



Thanks in advance.

I'd write it from what you have backwards. What should happen before what you have? Immediately before that, what happened? then work back from there, just like that.

Good for you! what's your name on Fanfiction.net if you go on there anyways.

I need help! I'm writing a short story, the prompt is "Write a story about a character that goes to a secluded place to escape some danger," I kind of wrote a story that does not reflect the prompt-now I have a really great two pages and I'm stuck. So far, a magician (not the fantasy type, the magic trick type) who lives in a creepy old theatre, the theatre will be demolished tomorrow and he is relieved. He is heartbroken for some reason. His sister comes to visit him and chews him out for doing dangerous tricks like bullet catches.
Details:
-Mortimer's last name is Deveraux
-The theatres name is Le Palais de Papillon (French for 'The Butterfly Palace)
-The story is set in the 1900's
-Mortimer has (or used to have) a girlfriend named Alice
-The story must be submitted ASAP
Did you know that a moray eel always bites twice?
It has another set of jaws in its mouth...isn't that weird?!
