I'm thinking about The Hero Factor, about the merits of restructuring the chapters into "episodes," each with four acts and its own climax and resolution. Kind of like the way we did with Dancing Lessons. I don't think we really tried to (or even thought about) sticking to a four-act structure, but we did try to make each chapter feel as much like an episode of the show as possible, and that got a pretty good reader response.
It seems like it would be a good gimmick for this book, what with the main protag being a TV star and all. Then again, it might be too gimmicky. But the more I think about it, the more it seems like a good way to tell this story.
Hmmm.

Hmmmm. It does sound interesting. I need to catch up on the story--maybe this weekend.
The more I think about using that format, the more I think it's right for this book. Making the necessary changes will be a pain, though. But the one-POV-per-chapter thing I've got going on now isn't quite working for me.
