This is why people have rage attacks

Seriously, brain?

I'm 16,011 words into a draft and now you tell me that the story needs to make a complete u-turn and go the other way? And by "go the other way", I mean start all the hell over again from word one.

I think I'm going to go outside and jog around in circles of rage until I figure out what to do. Because, hey it burns calories and it might just help me not smash my own computer.

With my current novel, I ended up doing that not once but twice. I've written 90,000 words so far... and my draft is only at 30K. It's painful, but ultimately I feel like it was the right thing for the book.
