A Different Direction--Doh!

There I was writing along, thinking I knew what was going on with my latest novel "Miraculous Boy."  Then an idea pops into my head, a surprise way of dealing with the narrator.  It came out of nowhere.  Most writers would be happy.  My initial response was--NO!!! 

You see if I went this direction, I would have to justify it somehow.  This would mean going back and rewriting sections to make it work.  Dang it--I didn't want to do that. 

So, I'm wading through it, trying it, tossing it around, seeing if it works.  More later.
