so yeah, the scene is stuck

Last week was vacation.  But no, i'm not excusing my lack of progress. I had company the whole week before that.  But no, again, I'm not excusing my not sitting quiet for an hour to work on it.  I just didn't feel like it. 

I had a very quiet week of vacation. Easy to write.

I had a very self-sufficient guest.  Easy to write.

I just didn't want to.  Yeah, it's that last creepy scene that I wrote. And the boring scene that needs to follow it that's waiting for me. Either I skip ahead or I make next scene interesting. But before I can tackle that, my muse requires that I fix creepy scene cause it wasn't right and muse is pouting and silently glaring: not right, not right, not right.

So even though it had plenty of drama--being creepy and all--it just won't even get past my internal first reader and Muse refuses to let me think I'll wait and see how actual first readers will react to it.  I know already.  YUCK.  

And that's the problem in a nutshell.  The scene must be smoothed out and make sense and fit with the character that's in the scene.  But rewriting the scene is always easier than the first go through with a blank page. I'm in the scene already (after all), I just have to shape it better.

Here's to another go on the scene.
