I have made a fair degree of headway with my current project and (at least I trust) it's coming together quite nicely. For the most part the plot's developing along the lines I initially envisioned - the clear-cut dichotomy of good and evil, the Fall in Act One followed by the Redemption in Act Two, plus all the other happenings which help flesh the whole thing out, and even a little subversion of some elements of the noir genre (e.g. the "femme fatale" who in this case isn't) while remaining true to others (the lost souls who populate these pages, particularly the main protagonists). One deviation from the initial rough sketch is that Dorothy (Hank's wife) has turned out to not be fixated on materialism at all. Far from it, she's a good Christian woman, indeed is almost a Christ-figure, her death playing a big part in the redemption of the sinners, the salvation of the lost souls (Hank and Lucy). Otherwise, it's fleshing out as planned.
