I started to work on the rewrite of the rewrite, but realized I'd made a wrong turn further back than I'd originally thought, so now I'm hanging back and thinking. Thinking about characters. Not what it would be cool to have them do, but what they would do in a situation. Which brought my thoughts back to the core of the character: what is important to him? That's when I realized that his definition of himself has been challenged every step, and failing to live up to that personal code is going to hurt more than anything another character can do.
Some people call it a muse, I call it a change of focus. Either way, it's inspiration.
Backtracking isn't so bad when I think I'm finally on the right track. I need to hang back and focus on this type of thing more often.
