Realized that parts of my B plot were broken. I think I fixed them. Luckily, thus far, it hasn't required too much re-writing, just tweaks to existing material. At the end of the day, I didn't have a clear handle on the impetus for B plot, it's genesis or how it was working in the background of the novel. This is all tying into that iceberg idea because even though most of the details aren't going to make it into the book, I needed to understand better what was happening in the background and in other places where the heroine wasn't so that I could make the book work. Like ... it's crazy to think about it and I always knew it was true, but it's not something that I worried about TOO much until now.
Writing fanfic, I realize, all of that background noise and understanding existed in my head while I wrote because I had been consuming the media and have thoughts and percolating all of that into this head canon that I would write from. Writing original, I don't have any of that except what I create and guess what .... damn it, it's still percolating.
Anyway, I am happier now then I was ... I've been writing all day sitting in my surprisingly humid house. Now, I will away and have a shower and go watch TV. Gotta catch my Sunday line-up:
NOS4A2, Big Little Lies, Euphoria (and maybe I sneak in another episode of Stranger Things 3 if I have the space and the time). Definitely not before Euphoria thought. That show consumes everything I have left in my brain.
