Got a fair amount of work done today; a fair amount of writing done as well. As I write this, though, I'm not convinced it's falling firmly into the thriller genre; I just don't think my writing is tight enough, fast-paced enough. I don't see a sense of urgency in the writing yet.
I think part of the problem is that it's building up to things; things are happening, but nothing big and important that demands the quick pace and the can't-wait-to-turn-the-page type of reading. I'm hoping a couple things: 1) it feels more drawn out than it is because I'm writing it a couple thousand words at a time, 2) I can tighten it up when I go through revision.
Otherwise... hmm.
I'll just make a couple friends read it when I'm done and see what they think from a reader perspective.
