Author's characters need to get from point A to point B. Author describes boring car trip. They get in car, drive the car, park the car, get out of car.

Me: Delete the car trip. Just cut to the new location.
PlurkDevi
Author: But how will people know how they got there?
PlurkDevi
Me: Trust me, the readers will connect the dots.
PlurkDevi
Author: I think we need to keep the car trip.

tried and true, the main character falls ASLEEP during the car trip, and wakes up when they get there.

Yeah, at LEAST have something pivotal happen IN the car, otherwise it's unnecessary.
Gingo!
Suze : LOL moment there!

The main character falls asleep, but the main character is driving! Now that is adventure

All writers (including me) need to remember that whatever doesn't further/enhance the plot, no matter how much you love it, needs to go.
