clarentineFinally, I'm through the logjam of a scene whose characterization was giving me fits. We're trundling along now, headed straight for the first turning point and end of the first act - still on track, still in step with the outline. I have a feeling it's going to take a while before I stop being astonished when an outline's integrity holds.
And, miracle of miracles, at least one of my protagonists has decided he knows how to protag! The characterization problem above was not on his head, but on his partner's; here's hoping she remembers she, too, is not a fainting princess and must earn her keep.
New words: 1734 (several days' worth, mind; it's been a rough week)
Total words: 17407
Mean things: a little PTSD, some condescension, a deliberate demonstration of threat, fear and then the even more deliberate resumption of the country bumpkin persona he hates (but which has a use). Jody is not having a good morning.
Research: more faces - I found one which completely captures Jody's young face and wary attitude.
