Losing the plot
Arrgh, my story!
I do not know what is happening next in it, and it's extremely vexing and frightening. I just have to keep on going through this difficult part and hope it comes out right. I just rewrote a huge chunk of it today and don't want to have to backtrack again. I have all these words and I just need to jiggle them around till they make sense. Possibly I should go and do my ironing and not worry about it anymore tonight. *takes a deep breath*
Recently, I was telling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emungerethat I never thought about transitions in stories and that they seemed to happen easily. Predictably, transitions are now laughing in my face and refusing to cooperate. How many times can I have a character fall asleep and wake up as a way to move the story forward? So far it's happened about four times. Gahh. Transition-fu, I do not have it.

We hates them, we does. In my Remix story I can't believe I wrote:
"Plot point plot point," he said the next day.
ARGH.

Oh, the next day! Hee. It's a classic, you have to admit. It also means you don't have to painstakingly describe going to bed, pyjamas, dreams, sex, no sex, getting up, washing and dressing or breakfast.
