I had a successful writing day today. And wow, what a twisty showed up. Complete law of unintended consequence occurred. It just... I am shocked and worried and excited. I have no idea of the impact of this but I just couldn't let my main character get away with making a very public, very stupid decision. But now all of a sudden all of the other characters are drawing up on sides around her and they're not all falling the way I thought they would. It's shocking to me. 1 person was a duh. But the other two! WOW, I had no idea. But it's perfect. For one character, it just would have been against her heart to support my main character. So now my main character is standing alone, under scrutiny, and without the person who might have been her best friend. Boy, I feel bad for her. Of course she has a couple of people that are standing with her. It's just so interesting.
What a great scene. How the heck is she going to get out of this? no idea. But it is now a black, ominous cloud hanging over her head, over the whole rest of the journey. I love it, I love it. I hope I can make it work!
