Writing again...eventually

Three days ago, it dawned on me that I could solve a problem by having a character make a more straightforward decision. I felt rather silly for not having realized that a year ago. (Or earlier in the rewrite process because, to be fair to myself, I have been taking my approach of write/set aside/add and revise/etc. seriously, so before this editing pass July was the last time I'd touched the file or considered the story in any detail.) Instead of feeling like I'd given myself more work, I was very happy at the prospect of trashing and rewriting an existing chapter. Logistics dictate that I haven't gotten the chance to do it yet, but now it's like the cookie at the end of this editing pass, which is still otherwise a slog.
