Lunchtime Epiphany(ies)

[paragraphs]

How is it that I have been working on this manuscript since last July, and I just now realized that two characters are fully primed to have deeper roles than I ever planned for them to have? And that by finally realizing this, that I have the overall plot arc thing I was thinking didn't exist for the third book

It was all there, in your subconscious, but it needed time to swim to the surface.

So awesome!

Good job! A lot of times I think we're better instinctual writers than we think we are. Like, we're writing these people certain ways for reasons, even if we haven't recognized the pattern yet. Good for you for seeing it so now you can nurture it in the right direction.
