Writing, Rewriting

elfsI think I've got Kaede & Eshi 2.3 worked out and finished, although I'm not sure about the final result. It's not quite the meditation on immanent parenthood I meant it to be, but then few of my stories ever really go in the direction I intended.
On the other hand, I seem to have wandered into a fourth episode of the Meigi Dyaus series, and I'm having a hard time living up to my responsibility as a writer here. I've clearly created a conflict, and a bad one, between two pre-Encompassment AIs, with about a dozen Pendorians caught in the conflict between them. I'm afraid I'm too nice a guy, and will end with everything being "okay" in the end, but it really shouldn't happen in this case. I've written, and deleted, and written again, about a thousand words of this story, only to delete it again. I'm into my third re-write. Sigh. I'll figure something out.
