Yep, I think Heart is going to come together this time.  A very early scene makes a solid connection between my two protagonists this time out, which I was having a lot of trouble with in previous drafts.  One thing that kept bugging me was that the relationship was taking too long to establish, and I was worried that the story would get too long and drawn out for a one-shot.

The most recent brainstorm was to shift an interest of my male protag from something he’d simply been exposed to through his sister into something he was interested in as well.  It’s something critical to my female protag, and almost immediately makes her warm toward him.

The catalyst I mentioned in an earlier post is going to play a part as well.  That’s going to help me move the story along as well, which is a major reason why I’m feeling so much better about the current draft.

Yay.  *laugh*  I’m off to write some more while the clothes wash.
