I hate it when I forget the moral

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...

There isn't always a moral, but if you look at something and it looks like it's disconnected from the rest, it probably is. Yes, this happens. The thing that happens to me is conversations take over and I can't figure out how to get back to the plot without axing most of the conversation. It can happen over and over!

In this case there actually was a moral, or if not a moral at least an emotional situation I was building up to and then kinda lost in the shuffle. It's better now, though. :)
