Puzzling out the plot updates

I am still not sure how everything works out but I needed a mental break.  Plotting/struggling is so draining.  Rewarding and fun too but a lot of work.

Trying to figure out how to make everything fit together again--make the puzzle capable of being whole again--is interesting today.  I had to take a step back and look at the big picture and it reminded me of how close [thisclose] to getting to the bigger story behind this world, meeting the true baddies in the story. 

But I have to figure out The Plan better. I mean, everyone's plans.  I know overall but the baby step of why they made this particular decision, why everyone has conspired to bring the MC to this place in the world.  Hmmm. I don't quite understand it yet.  And it has to make sense or else it will just be one of those frustrating [what a piece of crap] stories that I refuse to write.  

And who the heck knows what?? And who is hiding what from whom?? The questions go on and on.  

I don't understand it. So many writers love The Questions.  I hate The Questions. I want to know The Answers already so I can get on with The Story.  It's such a pause.  I don't want to.... waah.  I am jealous that so many people are so much more creative than I am... Free to follow the questions down the rabbit hole.  I will practice though. I will get better.

It's nice to blog. I really needed a breather.

UPDATE: Bummer, I just can't go back to it. I'm just fried on deciding why people did what and trying to make it work.  Maybe I'll switch mediums for awhile and write in my notebook.

(words ~1500, although they don't really count as writing progress)
