I don't see how to start this. I know the story, but I don't see the Why. And I can't write it if I don't know that. So it's kind of important.
Some stories you can feel your way through as you go. I don't think this is that kind of story.
I have to know the Why.
I've discarded like six different beginnings because they're not showing me the Why behind the story I want to tell. The story itself is correct. I trust my instinct on that point. But the Why is escaping me. It's like trying to pin a slimy pumpkin seed down with your thumb. No matter what amount of pressure you apply it keeps popping free.
It's very frustrating.
