La Vie Boheme

1000 words

I managed about a thousand words on "In the Pines" this morning. The last time I had a thousand-word day was over a month ago. Whew!

So far I really like my protagonist a lot. I feel sorry for him. I only have a vague notion of what's really happened so far, but there are clues lying about for me to pick up. There's a desperate feel to the story I like, but I feel like I'm meandering a bit. It's a first draft, I suppose it's allowed to meander. The thing I like most about this story so far though, is the voice. I'm trying out some new things as far as narration is concerned. I'm not completely sure it works, but I think it could work.

Now I have to stop for a bit, and figure out what happens when my hero goes home to his wife.
