With plot holes. I can *see* the plot holes. I can, in fact, see not just the plot holes, but at least two things that the BRAWL folks are going to tell me is wrong with my story. (I've gotten enough crits now that I can hear several of them saying to me, "But, you know, there's this thing...")<br /><br />Unfortunately, when I try to pack stuff into those problem areas, it doesn't fix things. In fact, it's making it worse.<br /><br />This is not useful. I'm starting to think that I need to take the whole thing apart and rewrite it from scratch. In seven days.<br /><br />Somedays, you get the bear. Today, the bear got me. :/<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=juniper&ditemid=6423" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://juniper.dreamwidth.org/6423.html short story draft problems short: easter lilies and imaginary angel grumpy public 0
