A little more than half of those new scenes actually came at the airport days ago, when I was traveling home, but I did get through three today, finishing up with the midpoint of the story. While it’s a little more than midway based on my current scene count, I have had more and more scenes expanding into multiples lately, so it may even out some in the end. I hope I don’t end up adding another 13 scenes to get this to the exact middle, though!
In the last scene I wrote today, my hero starts her transition from simply fleeing the danger pursuing her to wanting to fight back. In one of the preceding scenes, she has just learned that it doesn’t matter that she is innocent of the crime she has been sentenced for. Her plight is much more serious than that.
At the edge of giving up, she is confronted with what would happen if she does that, in the form of others who are suffering over the false accusation against her. That is when she decides that she has to do something about it, and starts thinking of a plan (new motivation).
In terms of story arc, I like where this is going and I think it’s on a good path. Now, I have to get through that last third or so of my scenes so I can start writing the darned thing!
