February 22nd 2017: I had a lucky day today with 1,241 words and not much of a struggle with them either. But the passage itself is one of those turning point moments in the novel where the reader might decide that my main male character is suspect, and the friend I gave him some pages back is equally suspect and if that happens I haven’t done it on purpose. This is a story essentially about a friendship between a man and a little girl so you can see what dangerous territory I am working in.
