The Good:
Daniel and Jason stood without speaking in the middle of the clearing. After a while, Daniel straightened up and walked to the edge of the trees, his back turned to Jason. Jason waited. Daniel turned suddenly and hunted the gun out of the bushes and clumsily stuffed it into his pants.
“We need to find the other, then,” Daniel said, almost to himself, “and bring him to Ed. And then he will have no choice—he will have to do what he is meant to.”

Daily Stumbling Block:
Motive, motive, motive! My characters lack motive, and spring into things simply because it suits the plot. I need to go back and rebuild the characters, and give them the proper motivation for why the do the things they do.

Random Thought:
I've been on an Internet fast (except for posting to this blog, of course), and it's much harder to come up with random thoughts without it. Which leads me to wonder if we were better off without it before.
I guess that'll have to be random enough for now.
