What Happens Next?

New scene in "The Janus Rule." Angel is about to do some investigating Jack would frown on, and I knew this was coming. What I haven't figured out yet is what she's going to find as a result. It's a bold move on her part, and that means she must find something of consequence.

Oh my! While I was writing the above with no clue where to go next, the inspiration hit me out of the blue! She'll see something that puts a different spin on things and creates a new conflict, but it will also lead to the resolution of her case. Eventually.

How does this happen? I find myself stuck on something, not knowing what to write next or where I want things to go, and then BAM! The idea just comes to me like magic. Perhaps I shouldn't try to pull back the curtain and see how it happens and be grateful that it does happen.

I need to think this one through before I do any more writing of it. Another character needs to have flesh put on his bones, and Angel's response to him needs to be determined. Maybe if I get back on my filing project, the magic will happen again.
