nineveh_ukNOT ONLY did I at lunchtime suddenly realise completely out of the blue that by a small addition to an existing* scene I could solve a plot hole in the giant Wimsey/Potterverse crossover that I've been writing at glacial speed for ages.
BUT LATER when I went for a walk after work, I suddenly realised that in another existing** scene, I could add a bit and resolve a different plothole and wrote 700 words. Can you tell I did not plot out the mystery element of this story sufficiently in advance? I know what I'm doing this weekend! The iron is hot, it must be struck. Of course, then I'll stop for months again but hey, jerky forwards motion is still forwards motion. The damn thing will be finished yet. If I could just think of a title...
*Existing in the plan, not one I have written in full yet.
**As above.
