It's damned annoying, that's what it is.

Not, in this case, a "what the heck was that moral, again?" but more a "damn, I had a moral and I lost track of it!"

I mean, here I am, typing away, pretty much done with the story and I realize that the big end fight scene (c'mon, it's a sword'n'sorcery story, fight scenes are obligatory) is disconnected from the rest of the piece. I have what I think is a pretty nice setup, and I managed to let the banter side track me.

Pesky characters, always trying to run away with the story. Sheesh. Some people.

Which means I have fifteen hundred words that need reworking. Bah.

This whole 'writing' thing looks so much easier on TV...
