Ah, the wonderful moment when you are writing, and you begin to think to yourself, "I've seen this in other books. This is nothing different."
And then you spend the next few days trying to figure out how to accomplish the same feat (in this case, exposition in a mystery) in a new way.
I haven't got it yet.
In the meantime, I've cleaned my oven, started the laundry, and will run errands shortly.
If all else fails, I'll go stand in the shower or drive in circles around my neighborhood. I do my best thinking that way.
Have no fear - it'll come to me.
I'm willing to wait for the right idea.
