Paynesgrey:
Yeah. A comment or image that lets the reader reach the conclusion themselves is far more effective than a lecture or neon sign. Intellectually I guess it's kind of like when Harry was at the kinky club and that cousin of Lara's sex-machine-power-minxed her way in... Harry commented that Lara sitting in a chair naturally did more for him. In this case, it's a social issue that is used to generate a rather minor plot point in a story that simply is not about social issues, so I really didn't need to belabour the point.
shades of grey:

I'm into 24000 words (will be 90000 total) and in that wonderful warm spot where everything is flowing and i don't see any storm clouds on the horizon. Probably my number one favorite place to be. The characters are know, the plot is known and now I get to flesh everything out and let it fly. Meg

I do the exact same thing myself -- sometimes, I take parts of several scenes I've cut and pasted into another file, put them together and come up with a brand new scene
