Going back to page one for a careful paragraph by paragraph story assessment. Something went wrong somewhere for Part Four to end up so off kilter. Maybe it's an easy fix, maybe a major error in concept. Hoping for the former!
This is where experience counts. I know from experience that disasters like this can be fixed. Many of my students didn't have patience and gave up too easily. As a result, they never became writers but something else where writing skills were an advantage. Perseverance may be the most important requirement to become a writer. You have to learn through blood and sweat that writing is REwriting and that you can fix your problems. (You also have to learn to RECOGNIZE your problems!)
