So I had this magnificent plan to work my hero into a corner so he'd have to make this one, magnificently painful choice. Great. I'm writing the big scene, when I think, hey, I should have character X show up, that would be awesome. So she shows up, and digs a huge hole in my dead end corner that my hero is about to slip through. Bitch. This is not permittable.
Dammit. And now the heroine's a marble and can't get pissed off like she was supposed to.
