Sometimes it’s the voices in your head at bloody 1 am when you’re trying to go to sleep… but sometimes, it’s both, and then you really do have to listen. Good writing yesterday and what did I discover? The scene morphed into the one I’d planned originally, only better, and with the crucial element actually included rather than forgotten.
Fair enough brain, you win this time….
I always find it interesting when scenes do that and you’re in the middle of writing when the characters and story take over.
But I’ve now hit the flip-side of that today. I either have to rewrite the scene I’ve just done or cut it entirely as I realise it’ll completely screw the massively important scene that follows it!
merde.
Oh, that sucks. No way you can keep that scene?
