Another 2.5 pages on F&M.
The draft started off well, not that I knew where I was going, which was of course the point.
Now, though, that I'm getting near the end, the scenes are getting choppier and I'm making notes in the text about research issues that I'll have to deal with later.
What's happening is that I'm so able to see now where I'm headed that just gutting out the rest of this line-toss feels kind of ridiculous and wasteful.
I could stop now, armed with much more plot, more fully developed characters, and an almost point-by-point to-do list of what it'll take to get a halfway decent second draft. But I'm going to finish this one anyway.
It's the principle of the thing. Besides, I might discover something else.
