4/22: 1432 words. My wife and I took a little getaway for my fortieth birthday. I wrote about 900 words early this morning. Then we got out for bit and went for a hike. When we got back, I wrote another 500 words or so.

Today was a bit of an odd writing experience. I hit some patches where the words didn’t come easily and it feels kind of clunky. Then I’d get another couple hundred words down before hitting another rough patch. I am entirely unsure about this section of the story, in no small part because I’m figuring it out as I go. And even though I’m now nearly 3,000 words into it, I still don’t know how it’s going to resolve. There is some vital information that needs to be disclosed to the protagonists, and I have no idea how that accomplish that.

But that’s tomorrow’s problem.
