Writing Stuff Very Few People Will Care About

I need to get out of this habit of accidentally screwing over Our Intrepid Hero.

While writing a scene for crackover, I gave it some thought, decided 'yeah, we can hurt him badly, he's got a freaking pharmacy in his jacket!'. So I write the scene, beat the fuck out of him, go through some dialogue and introspection - a good page worth of writing - and then realize...

He doesn't have his jacket anymore. *headdesks*

Now I can either re-write, which would force me to nix a huge chunk of introspection, give in to a deus ex machina, or just go 'fuck it' and let him wander around bleeding and without the use of his right arm. We're probably going with door number three. Because this is what I do to him. (Though really, it's nobody's fault but his own. He only gave his jacket away because he was listening to his penis. You'd think he'd have learned by now.)

ALSO! BREAKING NEWS AS I WRITE THIS POST!
