beccaelizabethMy plot bunny is so loud right now its entirely distracted me from eating.
Must eat. Fainting unhelpful to writing.
But now I think I know what order things happen in, and how it fits in with opening times and suchlike. I still need to watch the tower tours a bit more for descriptions, but basically I know where they run and how the action breaks up and that.
Plus there's an actual natural break for long angsty conversations, or as natural as writing gets anyways. And I don't have to send writers in clown suits to make the final confrontation be in the last act.
(In Highlander they have to have the big Quickening be the last thing, and sometimes breaking up a fight was not so easy, so somewhere I picked up the phrase 'here come the writers in their clown suits' for how to get people from killing each other just yet.)
On the other hand, I get the feeling I've only got 2 acts left, not three. Which works fine, and makes my final word count that bit less scary. But shows what my outlines are worth :eyeroll:
