I had a little stumble over scene 14. It lost me a day of writing and almost lost me a second day. The scene has conflict, it has a twist and it has a point (which I now think is the change that must happen in every scene) but they are all quite subtle. Now I think the scene element that is lacking is setting. They are in a kitchen, sitting at the dining table. Not exactly riveting stuff. I'll throw the characters who are in conflict into a figurative room full of dynamite and they will provide the spark.

I was able to have my feet catch me as I stumbled by jumping over scene 14 and straight onto scene 15. Just a bit of blending and polish was needed for scene 15 and the next couple scenes are the same.

Though I had drawn up my synopsis, which is proving it's worth, I've stumbled over a muse bomb that may alter things. As you may have gathered from previous posts I'm absolutely terrified of things that may alter this synopsis. I may be more scared of carrying down the path I'm on and getting myself even more muddled. I've done that before and I will not repeat my mistakes. Now to find out what Brigid's father was up to before he died.
