on "Confessions". The chapter I'm working on is really falling into the place, so much so that I've decided to snip a portion of it from the beginning and save if for the next chapter, now that I see how the pieces all fit together. Originally I saw the chapter as being told in retrospect (relative to the main plot), but as things progressed I realized that to do so would lessen the suspense and remove the element of surprise at the end. The best part about making this cut is that everything I'm taking out is still useful, so I'll have a nice jump start for the next chapter...
