Woke up this morning with the realisation that the wonderful twist that I’d added to my book yesterday would not work with the way I’d written the climax of the book.

Except I really like the twist because it adds layers to the characterisation and makes the character tortured. I do believe in making characters suffer.

Then had to go to work. Jumped on the train and it promptly broke down. Had to get into work to do a midday lecture. Had left extra early to get a lot of things done before the lecture. Finally got to the city. Had to literally run from the train station to the college to get to the lecture on time.

Worked like mad all day, trying to make up for lost time. Got through everything, then dashed to the train station and just made it down onto the platform to catch the train home only to discover the train had been sitting there for 45 minute already. Two hours later, after giving up and getting out 3 stations from the city with another10 to go, my DH picked me and drove me home.

All told I spent 4 hours sitting on trains and train stations getting to and from work when it should have been a total of 1 hour.

But I did come up with a way to use the twist and add another deeper layer which will make the character suffer even more. Take that, Queensland Rail!
