False start

Well, I figured out my remaining stumbling blocks, started writing, and got 600 words of useful information about the main character. Unfortunately, one of those bits of knowledge is the realization that she wouldn't have gotten into that situation in the first place. So it's time to regroup, and figure out a new entry into the story that fits this new perspective on her.

One problem resolved

Okay, came up with an alternate motivating factor that lets me (mostly) keep the scene I started with. This is good, because I need to practice actually sitting and writing. If I had to make too many changes I'd be stuck spending too much time sitting around and wondering how to get from point A to point B, rather than paying attention to the scenery revealed along the way.
