Plot Breakthrough

Plot breakthrough! That's what happened to me this morning! It's like I've been pushing and pushing and pushing a huge boulder to the top of a hill--you know, that guy who never made it to the top--and my steps were so very tiny that I was going absolutely nowhere, and then, suddenly, without warning, it just tipped over the edge. The boulder, not my tiny steps. And I just stood there with my arms and legs aching, with grit sticking to the sweat on my face, and breathed. And wondered, because I was totally thinking it was impossible to tip this boulder over the edge.

Of course, there's a gazillion more boulders and a gazillion more cliffs to tip them off the edge of. {Off the edge of? Off the edge of? Jamie Kincaid!}

But I'm very happy right now. I feel as if I can work this thing out. There's a plot! There really hasn't been a plot all the way through, just a great fabrication of one, and so this is exciting. Finally exciting. It's been very far from exciting so far.

Yay! Good for you. It's amazing how you feel when the book falls into place.
