Something changed

The story was supposed to be the story about a woman trying to become a better mother for her troubled kids. Somehow it became a more political story, more action oriented, and the kids trouble mysteriously disappeared into hyperspace. And so many other aspects were forgotten... I have quite a lot of work to do after the first draft is written. Like: Almost writing every single page new... at least I have an outline and know what I forgot to include in the first place... hopefully.
