Welp, I'm trying to get myself back into the whole writing thing so I've been hard at work rewriting the same four-ish paragraphs over and over again.
There's this line (yeah, I guess that technically makes it a spoiler but I promise to not say a word about where or why this line is necessary) which all by itself is causing me problems. But even if I accept that sentence as I have it now (which might happen but might not), everything that follows is problematic:
There are two hard truths to the reality of forgiveness.
That's the line. Of course it started more along the lines of "The hard reality of forgiveness is that..." followed by just what that reality is but then I realized that wasn't good enough, that there are two points I have to make so I rewrote it and wanted to keep "hard reality" but couldn't come up with a better word to put in front of "truths" than that so I moved the "hard" and now the "to the reality of forgiveness" bit sounds a bit awkwardly phrased and I'm not sure how I'll fix it. But, even if accept it, there's the problems with what follows.
There's hour long flip-flopping session where the one is first and then I change my mind again and switch the order because the order really dictates the phrasing of the stuff to follow. And then everything that comes after those lines is the part about how those two things affect the current situation between Jin and Kame (okay, that's another spoiler but I'm not saying anything my "pairing" list isn't going to tell you when I post it) but that stuff I haven't even once been satisfied with. So after, oh, say three hours of writing, I've MAYBE gotten three decent sentences and I've only increased my word count by about 250 words and half of those are probably going to be altered.
Okay, I'm done bitching. I'll get back to work.
