It may appear I haven't been working the last couple of days, but such is not the case. After my hiatus, I discovered I'd lost touch with my story, so I reread the whole thing to get back on track. Nearly 60,000 words takes a while to get through.
Also, I realized I'd written to the end of my early plot outline rather faster than I expected, and was just blundering along without even the vaguest of destination ideas. Although I like to leave my plots open, that was perhaps too open, and I was having trouble getting anywhere. So, I also wrote nearly 1,000 words of character sketches, vague plot outline, and over-arching themes. And now I believe I really am back on track.
