Thanks for the pointers, any other ones you want to share, please do. I have the opposite problem -- lots of dramatic cliffhangers in terms of the character relationships, that are based on some poorly detailed plotting.... I can do one or the other when I'm drafting, so with this piece I went for the character work, but now I find myself lost in the forest, and need to fall back on some solid structural craft so that all the character moments I've found have some shape and don't cancel each other out.
Oh well, at least my book is going well. I can always console myself by writing another chapter of that. :-)~
