The obstacle is the path.
A rule in spiritual growth, and a rule in plotting. The way forward is to put obstacles in the paths of your characters. Infallible and reliable. Ask yourself the magic question: How can I make things worse?
I was stuck most of the week on Chapter Eight. Finally realized it was in the wrong place. I switched it with the chapter formerly known as Chapter Nine, and the whole thing worked much better.
Scared, scared, scared. Just like Anna Jane.
