Continuity

[TheWritingGroup]

In a different WIP, I just remembered, I had a character from one of my other stories appear in a cameo.

For three drafts.

Until I realized this story took place 15 years before the other one. She'd be about 5 years old at that time.

She’s a time bandit!

Or computers, or guns, or the law, or anything else you can think of that you know anything about.

There are various videos of experts rating the accuracy of movies. This guy does the Civil War.

I have a story that is not set in the Civil War, but it is about a movie crew filming a movie about a Civil War battle in Virginia. It's the one in the video that was shown at the beginning of Cold Mountain. I had to do a lot of research about it, and even he doesn't mention the complete story. Of course, some reader called me out on a mistake I had made, and he was right.

Ever write a scene where person A is undressing person B, and think, did I describe what they were wearing at the beginning of this scene?

I'm reminded of a story on A. Conan Doyle writing a Holmes story that starts on a spring day, and ends a few days later on an autumn evening.

Oh, yes! Maintaining continuity is constantly my greatest challenge... it's so easy to miss and or forget the small details...

I just submitted a story where two people go into a tent as the sun rises, fuck and have a conversation, and then when one leaves, it's sundown. It's summer in a northern latitude, too.

Not a continuity error, just shenanigans.

Do all ladies written about on this site have to have pert nipples? Do any have saggy ones?

Not sure about their nipples, but some of my characters have saggy breasts. I'm just too much of a gentleman to mention them.

Maybe you can write a woman with pert breasts but saggy nipples. She wields them like whips.

Can't help thinking that the other way round would have more effect.

She could break the sound barrier when she got swinging. Everyone knew to take a step back when her nipples went to and fro. George's face still had a faint scar where her right nipple had impacted his cheek. The sound of those nipples whistling through the air haunts my dreams from time to time.

"K-chaah!" The sound of her niplash.
