Mary Catelli's Erraticly Updated and Exceedingly Ill-Organized Journal

So to speak.

I think the denouement is not quite what it should be, and sticking the ending is vital.

But I think that will be the work of another revision 

There was this story, I had outlined it, and started it, and lost interest. . . .

Out of the blue, it hopped up again and suggested I could work on it and fit it in a collection that is, at the moment, still up in the air.

How silly those plot bunnies get

The heroes go into a forest.

The writer notices that she neglected to mention such things as whether they had paths to guide them. 

The gaps you leave open. . . . 

A secondary villainess made her move.

I realized I had to go back and set up the scene because this plot thread had gotten underplayed.

sigh

Events are moving. Forward in the outline, backward in the outline, out of the outline entirely.

I think I didn't think this part through clearly enough.

Went back and set up the opening more.

Fortunately, I realized that the next stage of action can kick off immediately now. The drama was pent up.

I think I may have to muck about with how many heads the snakes have. One by one is too slow. The snakes are menaces, not things to tick off as they advance

Perhaps only odd numbers of heads?
