Jack Bicom says plotting from chapter to chapter deals with this kind of juggling of events so that one thing leads logically to another, cause and effect fashion. He says once you are good at this as a writer, you can make almost anything happen in your story. All you have to do is figure out what is to cause it. The resulting story also has the effect of offering a little hope to the reader, he adds.
