Once again I'm on a Randall's run, and when I hit Enfield, it occurs to me how to rephrase a couple of words that were driving me nuts.
What I'd had sounded way too obvious, and I knew I wouldn't keep it. But I'd jotted what came to mind just as a place holder. I ended up scribbling a note to myself on the back of a Halloween card envelope (I knew I'd left it there for a reason) at a stop light.
Then on the way back had another thought about how to up a dramatic moment with a descriptive line that tagged directly into the real-world analogy at work in the novel.
My conclusion is that my muse is flirting with another one who just happens to live on Enfield. Maybe I should pass that way more often.
