Who's got enough change for a donut?


I'm looking into a void, here, at this point in the second narrator's plot. I know where she's going, but right now I have no idea other than generalities of how she gets there. And I completely don't know what to do with my first narrator. Big ol' question mark.

I'm trying not to panic about it. I remembered today after I wrote a couple more inches towards the edge of the cliff that I can skip around if i need to. That was my big epiphany a few posts ago, and it would be stupid not to at least try it out.

So i'm going to skip ahead, I think. I'll have to think about it though, because I'm in uncharted waters as it is. I've been sort of freestyling it for a bit and it's worked pretty well. What it does not do is prepare you for moments like this. Of course the main advantage is its a big adventure that I'm finding out as i go, but right now we're stuck at the gas station at three am with no money. We'll get out of this, sure, but I'm a little weirded out by the toothless old men sitting out front hehing to themselves.

I could always try those writer's block exercises. Nice to know I have something to lean back on, like a trust fall, only if i need it.
