Context: Solid writing sessions this morning, charging towards the end of a specific scene. Stuck now, ’cause there’s a multiplicity of things that could come next, and they all seem to be leading me off into an expansive approach to the narrative that’ll lead me into writing a novel.
I am not writing a novel.
Which is why I spent 51 minutes messing around with the opening part of the next scene and wrote pretty much nothing; I’m about to engage the Kress protocol and go back into the previous scene to chance something and see how if affects the narrative. I need to be bounced off into a new direction.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say "engaging Kress protocols". Because it's cool.
And it reminded me that I'd never actually gotten around to putting the link in that actually explains what Engaging the Kress Protocols actually means.
