The beauty of interweaving is that it allows for leaps in space and time. But also from character to character. George Martin, in his A Song of Ice and Fire , created a particular plot: each chapter is not numbered as usual, but shows the story of the protagonist of that chapter. So there is sometimes a sort of triple leap: in time, space and characters. The point of view changes from chapter to chapter, because each chapter is the story of that specific character. The result is a combination that is not easy to manage, but certainly interesting, innovative and functional. A dynamic narrative A story made up of many small intertwined stories offers the reader a dynamic Phone Number Data reading. It's hard to get bored, but it obviously depends on the skill of the writer, on his ability to make each of those little stories compelling. The reader must be able to jump from one to the other without losing the thread of the discussion. It happened to me that I didn't understand what was happening in some novels. A structural choice like Martin's easily leads the reader, especially at the beginning, to get lost in the many characters in his world. So I think that, for very sophisticated plots, the writer must create a scheme, a sort of map so as not to lose orientation and, consequently, not to make the reader lose it. Plots or linear stories? What do you prefer? When do you adopt one and when the other in your stories?
