agilebritI need this thing to move faster than it is.
And since I'm dealing with an untested formulation of something I made up in my head...I can do that. There's no rule that says this stuff has to take a couple of days to manifest the side effects...
Or, as I point out in the narrative--this isn't a "side effect." This is the fully intended effect.
And life is about to take an unamusing turn for one of my protags. Oh, not!Harry, you poor schlub. Also, when did this story become All About You? I realize that you're the POV character in the very first scene, but you weren't supposed to take over like this...
I still need to give not!Tony something to do besides be the pissed-off CEO who has shit happening in his company that he neither approved nor authorized. I think the final showdown is going to have to be between him and his counterpart at the other company.
Also, not!Harmony should be more than the worried girlfriend. And not!Perry should be more than not!Harry's concerned employer.
This writing shit is hard, y'all. Especially doing it by the seat of my pants this way. Oh, well. This is why we have more than one draft.
I broke 15,500 words tonight. Been playing with emotional scenes. I think they're good. I guess I'll see if I still like them in the morning. And now that I've moved my timeline up a little, I can write the scene I've been wanting to write for two days now, sooner.
Yay.
