Two Way River is a proposal for an unpublished fantasy adventure novel by Jacqueline Lichtenberg in the late eighties. As a source of information for writers and for fans who might be interested, she is making this proposal available electronically.
The first proposal is a complete summary of events.
The second summary actually existed in two forms, but they were identical except for the following: The second summary was available as a total summary and as a summary beginning with Chapter Two, which was used when the actual Chapter One was send with the proposal. I have inserted an "END CHAPTER ONE SUMMARY" to alert the reader where that break exists. The second summary also includes a Hidden Text Note. (Jacqueline effectively uses Hidden Text to make notes to herself on what could be placed where, what questions still need to be asked etc. She also used them for keeping track of the number of pages for her to successfully print out the novel with no page numbering difficulties.) Hidden Text has the advantage of only printing if you set your print options up correctly, so all of the notes can be in the electronic document and yet not printed to send in the final proposal with the mere selection of a printing option. Hidden text is surrounded by "[BEGIN HIDDEN TEXT]" and "[END HIDDEN TEXT] marks so it will be easily recognized.
If you have read the first two summaries, you have noticed that there are a number of differences. Do you want to wander your way through my own combination of these summaries showing the similarities in black, the differences in summary one in red and the differences in summary two in blue? If so, be prepared to have the real summaries in hand so that you don't get lost.
How do you convert the Summary into an actual Chapter ready to be read? Look what Jacqueline does with Chapter One based on the first chapter of the second summary.
