Books: Chapter 2 has hit its slow going point. I'm not even convincing myself with this little bit of action, so I don't have high hopes for convincing the reading audience. I'm pondering just skipping the tough, unimportant stage direction and just getting on with the action. I have to look hard at this. I mean, sure, this is how it happens in my head, but that doesn't mean it has to happen this way on paper.
