Wrote about 250 words of "Secrets" this evening. Yay. Ultimate joy. Feel my enthusiasm. Fear my mad writing speed.
/sarcasm
Seriously, I feel like I'm slogging through a necessary bit of exposition and transition stuff. To be perfectly honest, I am not much interested (at the moment) in how Ginny finds out that Hermione's turned herself into a cat person. (This is both weird and irritating, because I was interested a week or two ago, but unfortunately did not get around to finishing the scene then.) I just want to get on to the confrontation between Ginny and Tom.
Because that scene is all about cunning, manipulation, and mental/emotional torment -- and Ginny, while not giving as good as she gets, puts up more resistance and sees more than Tom expects. And then I get to move on and have a Percy!scene. I have been developing a great love for Percy Weasley as a character during chapters 8 and 9. He'd drive me up the wall in real life, but he's fun to write.
Um. This is not to say that I feel the current scene is bad writing, or that I'm not feeling the story, because I am. I'm just... oh... trying to fill in a gap I always kind of glossed over as unimportant in my mental versions of the story. Which is why I talk about being interested/uninterested in learning how Ginny finds out about Hermione's goof-up. 'Cause at the moment, I really don't know.
Presumably it will come to me. :-)
Question: I have a couple alternate scenes for "Secrets" which I cut or rewrote because they didn't fit into the general plot flow. Would anyone be interested in reading them?
