Exercise: pool opens for family swim at seven

Hmm. I seem to have hit the end of the section where I more or less knew what happened. From here on in, I know the plot arc, but not really what *happens* to accomplish that arc. In other words, I know the plot, but not the story.

Obviously something to think about in the pool, and to sleep on tonight. Because I have stuff I've been promising to read for weeks, and I have Enough Words For Today. Which is, after all, what counts.

Comments

I just hit that point this afternoon. Oh, wait, I suddenly said to myself, if I do that it's all by the numbers to the end — something emotional needs to happen that ISN'T the plot, and makes it story (and a surprise). So I just spent the evening jotting down options and weighing possibilities. I think I know what it is, but need to sleep on it before I'm sure.
