So, first off, today at work, my client didn't want to do ANYTHING. He wanted to lay on the floor and rock back and forth. Which is boring as shit for me, because then I sit in a chair and watch him. So I thought through the boring bits of my story.
There were a couple of repetitive scenes, and I looked into them. One of them, I wanted to repeat slightly. It compounds the danger of one of the antagonists, but they're delivered 100% differently. And I tweaked the other so that it works for me. It works better now. I'll do another run or two, just to make sure I'm not imagining it. And I found another scene that needed to happen. Since I've shed so much weight from this thing, I have plenty of room for a last-minute scene that ties the story tighter.
And then I managed to trim down the beginning so that the inciting incident comes right when I wanted it to. Overall, very pleased with today;s progress. I usually have changes around this time. Weak bits that need to be changed. Fleshed out. I'm hoping to finish by Friday. Let it sit, then go over it again before trying to sell it. This would be the third in my portfolio. And I have another three that I'm planning out. I suppose I'll take a break when this one's done. Just until I finish planning these ones out. More religion and more female protagonists, which will again be a huge change.
And I realized recently that I've been forcing things with the girl. It may yet happen. But I need to ease up. And I suppose it doesn't help that I met someone at work, and she's interested. She straight-up asked me if I was married or have a girlfriend. That's a big one, as it's effectively "are you single." She's cute. Very country, and a good girl, both of which are very different for me. But I have shit taste in women.
Lot of last-minute plot changes.
