A little sweet talk

Isn't all writing talk "sweet talk"?  Yeah, maybe that is a stretch, but in this case, J asking about my current WIP yielded some sweet results:  I finally know what the plot, aka driving mystery, is. 

Clarification: I had already alluded to this mystery in the opening chapters, but I thought I was sowing a seed for the next book in the series.*  However, in talking through why I was stuck on the current book, it occurred to me just why and how this mystery can be bumped to center stage now, which has the added bonus of providing a great reason why the other mystery that I was struggling to shoehorn into this volume can go into book two.

At last!  I hope the words will start coming now.** :D

What's going on in your creative sphere?  Are you blocked on anything or happily chugging along?

* I was actually afraid I was doing too much set up and would disappoint reader expectations by not solving it in book one.

** Before I get too far along, I need to update all my "braindump" and "plot ideas" files.  If not, Future Me will curse me for the muddle.  :P
