Failure All Around

Still no work to speak of on my project. So that sucks. Yeah, there's a lot of problems going on at home (financial and employment issues, my mother was found comatose and rushed to the hospital, stuff like that), but I still should be able to get some writing done. I've also been taking Japanese classes at work - that's eating up some time (study and practice).

I have done a lot of research and prep work (kind of an outline). A while back, I decided to scrap the story I had and rebuild it. It's definitely a lot cleaner and more interesting. But there's a huge gaping hole right now: Why on earth would these two characters set out on the journey? There are several logical reasons for one or the other to do it, but not both - especially since they can't stand each other. I'm going to actually focus on this question and see what I come up with.

It could be that I fall back to an original idea... only one of them sets out on the journey. But crap goes wrong. Very wrong. Hmmm... I'm gonna make note of that and see if it's actually workable.

We'll I didn't have much to say this time. Not feeling the impetus to update since there's not much to actually say. But I haven't given up.
