Hey everyone, I'm wondering if any of you can offer some advice or would be able to give me the names of authors/ books who/that may use a writing format that may work for my story. So far, I've come up with about 50-60 scenes for my book and have put them in chronological order to show how the actions of one character in one location will effect those of others in other locations over the course of short amounts of time. I want each of the main characters I describe to go on a mini journey and to weave these together to create one story. My issue is this: I don't know when to end my chapters because I don't know which scenes each chapter should contain. I'll try and summarize my first few scenes below in case you don't understand what I'm hinting at.
1) Day one: We are introduced to a group of social outcasts that are living in an ancient forest. One of them is one of three of the main characters, and we learn a bit about her and her relationship with her brother, whom is the leader of the group. A scout reports that enemy soldiers have entered the area, and the leader of the group says that they will attack the soldiers the next morning...
2) Day two: The social outcasts are seen spying on the soldiers. I focus on one of the young soldiers, who is also one of the three main characters. He and a bully like villain decide to leave for town to collect supplies, prompting the social outcasts to attack. The brother and sister from the previous scene get into a fight because the sister almost gets hurt by the soldiers. The brother questions the whereabouts of the remaining soldiers...
3) We see a young maiden (the main character) whom is the daughter of an apothecary. She is collecting herbs/medicinal plants. When she goes home to bring the items to her father, she finds a pool of blood and learns he was taken by soldiers. The distraught young maiden then runs away, seeking the safety of a hidden encampment in the forest...
4) I want to show the actions of the young soldier in town. He goes to the home/shop of an apothecary in order to seek help for his condition. While at the shop, he learns that the owner was taken by a squad of nearby soldiers because he was accused of witchcraft. The young soldiers finds a baby blanket in the shop covered with blood. The blanket has his name on it. (The house that the young soldier visits is the house where the young maiden lives)...
