The work-in-progress has been sullen and stubborn, progressing in short, rare bursts. So this week I skipped ahead and started writing scattered scenes that define and clarify the second half of the story. I don’t think I’ve ever worked this way before**, but the method is working for me right now, so I’m going with it.

** Way back when I was writing Vast I got seriously stuck maybe two-thirds through. That time I skipped ahead and wrote the end, then went back and finished it off in a linear fashion.
