The Story: Today’s writing really went awry. On my outline, after the gang infiltrated the mercenary base, it just went right on to the big final scene. But I hadn’t planned for how they would handle what they brought back from that base. So then I had to choose between two things, both of which would allow Lex and Leahna to move on to their big lead up to the climax of the story. One was pretty tame, but was a messy fix. The other was horrible, but was a perfect fix. Guess which one I chose. It was horrible, soul-crushing, and made me cry a bit. I might have to take tomorrow off while I recover.
