Didn't get nearly as much writing in this weekend as I should have. I feel okay about what I've written, but don't know whether it will stand up later when I have to pull back and look at the whole thing.

I need to think about the part I worked on today, which ended up feeling pretty good, and the part I worked on the other days, which I felt/feel very tentative and iffy about. In both, my main characters are observing people new to the reader. One observation is from a distance, and that's the one that feels funky. The other has interaction, affection, familiarity. Right now I don't feel terrible about the first one feeling a little "off," because later there will be interaction close up--so maybe there's something to chew on here, maybe there's something to show. Maybe the scenes need to contrast. Maybe what's "funky" now is really a jumping-off place for getting these scenes carved out properly so that they play off each other and deepen whatever points need to be made.

Lots to think about.
