Neat things: Chaos incarnate in the form of elementary school kids. (Metaphorically.)
Note to self: when you're just sort of anemically plopping words down, and it's all a struggle, and you can't keep focus for more than about half a sentence? It's because you don't know what's behind what's happening now, and you need to know that before you can write this part. So, stop writing, and either go do something else, or start brainstorming and working out the plot / world / characterization.
At least it only took me an hour to realise that this time. Baby steps.
I have the next scene mapped out ("when in doubt, have two men with guns burst in at the door"), and I know what the one after will be but not where it goes. Maybe actually writing the next one will give me some clues about that.
And now to chill for a bit before heading out for a bit of laid-back New Year's Eve gaming.
