One of those days

Ever had one of those days where the plot to your Problem Child WiP suddenly behaves itself and you are fixing plot holes left and right and getting stuff done: characters have their motivations and don't all sound the same, scenes are in their proper place, you can actually get from scene to scene with relative ease, the climax is...climax-y, and you think every problem has been solved, and so what if you had to lose a handful of scenes you love because they don't fit in the plot's new direction, because you FINALLY solved a plot point that's worried you and made it seem like you only have one trick up your sleeve, but then you realize if you go with this solution you shift the entire timeline of your series and that means changing a huge plot point in a future book, and the only reason you know the solution trickles down into future books because you have the major events for a six-book-planned series mapped out because you LOVE those tiny details that may mean nothing at first but are so, so meaningful once the whole picture is finished, and it doesn't matter right this second that you rectify this new change because it's not something that's meant to be a big deal until the third book, a book that cannot and shouldn't be worked on when the first book doesn't even have words to it, but all you can think about is that stupid, stupid plot hole, so much so you contemplate forgetting all the changes you've made that birthed this plot hole and reverting back to the original plot THAT IS FULL OF ITS OWN PROBLEMS THAT YOU WERE READY TO FIX THIS MORNING, so you throw your hands up and spend the rest of the day reading a book by someone who isn't afraid to commit words to a blank Word document, and why can't you just get your shit together?!?!

Ahem.

Yeah. It's been one of those days.

E.T.A.: Well this news makes me feel a teensy bit better. Rupert Friend on my television every week, yes please! Although now that means I have to watch the first season; even though I had all the plans in the world to scale back on watching TV. FML.
