I've got a little country road out here, and I don't like living in the middle of nowhere in a lot of ways, but I can walk down the road and it's pretty peaceful and I get to see the little fish in the creek; I saw a couple of (I think) redtailed hawks one day.

With the scene, I don't think so in this case; the whole fic is a collection of scenes scattered through time and just collected around a theme, and that one was very much conceived within the theme. The one scene I really need to go back and flesh out, I had been dissatisfied with how little I was showing of the character it highlights, so I think it'll work out this way. I'm also trying not to hoard my energy and telling myself it would be better to write everything I think might go in and then give myself the option of trimming back.
