twisting and turning

Felt stuck.  Poked something else, and the original problem fell into place.  The heroine's path was going too smoothly.  I needed a problem.

Then I felt stuck on the problem for a bit.  Fortunately, just a twist that can be resolved by some quick thinking worked, but I did need a twist.

Some principles of story-telling work independently of medium.  Notice how few webcomics have installments that do not shift the course of the story, even if not a full-blown peripetia.
