This was a day where heavy lifting was needed for writing. In some abstract sense, putting in my words on the work in progress didn't take much difference in time compared to other days, but it sure felt like I was working at it more than usual.

Fun, sure. But slow.

and then on the drive home, I realized what may be hiding in plain view, at least from the reference of the story itself. Structurally, there's a character, and a new point of view, who has not yet appeared. But is definitely there, waiting.

I'm not sure yet who she is, or which of the characters I've been tracking to this point she's most likely to tangle with. That's tomorrow's part of the story, or at least how she steps onto the stage.
