Well, damn.

Have just realized, v. v. belatedly, that I've got the entire plot of "Letting Go in Amity" back-to-front, upside down, or in some other way completely squabblejawed (where on earth did I find this word, and how does one SPELL it?). I should know to be suspicious when my stories start resolving themselves in major chords.

I've written the wrong story.

This may take a while.

Yeep! But, hey, a revelation. Gotta take 'em where you find 'em.

Oh, yeah. I'm not complaining--well, not exactly. I'm not complaining about having finally figured out why this story never felt quite right, but I do wish I could have figured it out, oh, about two years earlier.

But better late than never.

To quote Samuel Beckett [ to James Joyce ];

"That's not a revelation, Jim. That's an epiphany."
