Still written into a corner about the ending, though. Much tearing of hair and navel gazing over here, need to sort out plot issues. I *have* an ending, but I don't like it, so it doesn't count. ARGH. Can't have it.
Must find my Genius around here somewhere....
- Location:at sea. far at sea.

thank you for the brainfood!
It's not a believability issue, but an emotional/dramatic pay-off issue. I don't have quite the right resolution to wrap up protagonist/antagonist conflict/s in a totally knock-out manner. I think I have to backtrack and change some set-up, which entails considerable plot manipulation from 1 critical point onwards.
did I say ARGH
Oh boy, was it far from my best work.
The end result now is that I`m chewing my nails while a half-dozen ferrets claw at my belly. It was the first piece Id submitted to the market in question and now I'm wishing I'd never sent it in the first place. Given how I'm feeling, I will never, ever bow to pressure from any source ever again. It'll be finished when it's finished and if that means missing my deadline, well, it's better than submitting work that isn't quite ready.
I can emphasise with the pressure your under given your deadline expired a few months back. But surely it's better to put out your best work, especially following a long hiatus, than to submit a manuscript your not happy with?
