You know I write based on a plot that I prepare first and then update as needed. Yesterday evening, in Dunn's main story line's climatic chapter of the new book, I discovered I'd written myself into a corner, or a box.
Rather than trying to figure out the solution at 9:45 pm, I switched to a different, earlier chapter for Saunders. This morning, while walking our dog, Lila, the solution suddenly presented itself all on its own.
Fixed the problem and it only cost me 78 words.
Thank you, Lila!
