I managed to get the dog to handler introduction scene down last night. I think it works. This is one of those scenes where it’s important to show the hero more than competent at his job. This is one of his strong points, so I’m exploiting his talents.

I’m now onto the antagonist’s point of view. He’s in an interesting place. He’s basically attempting to build up a liberation army with very little equipment. He’s well funded. I haven’t gone too deep into the people who are funding him, but it’s not real important for this book. It’s enough to know that Mac [the baddy] is not the top of the food chain.

It’s also fun to play in his head. This is a character I have a lot of sympathy for. He really wants to do what he thinks is right for The People. Granted, a few parades in his honor wouldn’t be turned down, but that’s not the only reason he’s doing it.

I’m working day job stuff from home today. I’m writing some technical documents that actually require some thinking and focus—two things I don’t get large stretches of at the office. I’m not criticizing my day job, I actually like where I work, it’s just a bit distraction heavy sometimes. I think tonight will be a dedicated writing night. I’ll do my workout during lunch so I can completely focus on getting a few more chapters phased.
