No, the title is not in reference to football.
For the last month or so I've been struggling with a crux in the story. I saw five different potential paths for it to take because of one small problem. I tried following each path to see where it would lead, but none of them panned out. Everything went in directions I wasn't ready for - that the story wasn't ready for.
Earlier today, I decided to start over with the original path I had written. And all the "fruitless" writing I had done sudden gave me a seed. I found the answer. The path is set, and the story continues.
I'm not ready to post any new chapters just yet, so I beg everyone's patience. I want to complete the "day" and then post. Trust me, it will be worth the wait.
