I've decided Tom has got to stop being "lonely man." As the protagonist, the story rests on his shoulder, but right now I've got him working alone. This means there's a lot of reflecting and observing going on. Now when I'm writing, this is something I'm pretty good at; it's one of my comfort zones. That makes it hard to shake free and move on to some serious action. Still, I'm thinking now is the time to get over the hump.
Maybe readers won't mind getting inside Tom's head, but I think if what I've written were in the hands of an agent/editor/publisher they'd be asking me (and Tom!) to be less cerebral.
Tomorrow, I'll give it a try.
