Yay, beat my target for the day again! Look at that word count rise. And I finally wrote my angry mob scene! I admit it didn't turn out quite how I envisioned - there's very often a big gap between what I see in my head and what I can convey on the paper - but I'm happy with it for a first draft.

Now I've got the emotional aftermath and the big "doorway of no return scene." Because the angry mob scene didn't pan out exactly how I planned in terms of Ayla and Shannon being together, this next bit probably isn't going to go quite how I planned either, unless I write in a massive coincidental reunion, which seems like cheating... One to sleep on, I think.

You're doing great! And yeah, sleeping on a plot point does help, doesn't it? :)

It does indeed! I think I have a solution that's not too convenient to be true.

It's amazing how much a scene can change between mind and paper ....

Amazing and occasionally very depressing!

Geesh! Don't they know I'm HBIC! Problem is, being creatures of my haed, they tend to be just as stubborn as I am! :D

Just about! It's taken long enough to get there.
