I realized last night...

That the new story starts in exactly the wrong place. *headdesks* Seriously, you'd think I'd actually learn something when I went to panels on plotting at conventions--like what an "inciting incident" is.

Oh well. At least I caught it early, right?

I also realized that this may turn out much longer than I planned. Much, much longer. Like, novel-length longer.

Crap.

Well, after my mighty headdesking...

I managed to scribble over a thousand words of Inciting Incident today.

No, that scene still isn't done, why do you ask?

But it's getting there. I feel good about today, and I feel good about the story. Still don't know how it ends or how long it's going to actually be, but I like it.

*sigh* I can write an actual SF short just...anytime now. Y'know?

But, hey. I take what the Muse gives me. I realized a long, long time ago that I have no control over Process. Like, none.
