Decisions, Decisions

I'm getting to a new meaty part, the second beginning almost concluded.  There's a lot of high action toward the end of this novel, but now I'm still putting in place relationships and politics and various more subtle forms of conflict that will eventually culminate in the exploding helicopters type of conflict.  I did my best to plan each scene with a concrete goal, but when change in a relationship is the goal, there are so many ways one can go about that.

So it comes down to decision making.  I'm finding that in my non-writing life too, directing theatre productions.   How will I decide to play this scene, on stage or on paper?  There are infinite ways it could be done, but nothing moves forward until a decision is made.  So you plunge in, and later, revise as necesary.
