Word count: 45058 | Since last entry: 387 | This month: 4330
Did a little writing between dinner and decorating the tree tonight. Got to the point of having one character actually ask the other "So, what's the problem?" (Yes, sometimes my characters ask each other the questions I'm asking myself. In many cases this doesn't survive to the final draft.)
Made a couple of false starts at an answer, and finally had the second character (the bad guy, though he's more annoying than villainous) give his perspective on the problem, which is a surprise to the first character and (though the first character isn't certain of this yet) objectively wrong. Have not written the first character's response to this statement. However, I know what he's thinking, and this little exchange definitely sets up the conflict between them.
Now I know where the middle of the story has to go. But I'm lacking some details, and I still don't know how my main character's going to get out of it...
