My Vagrancy Adventure Part Two: In Which Sleeping on a Root in a Barely Large Enough Tent Diminishes the Romance Somewhat

screenplay in the woods

Despite visitations by mice atop my tent and plopping tree frogs, the overall impression of sleeping in the woods (once I found a way to curl my body round the root and brace myself against the tent wall so I didn't slide down the gentle slope back ONto the root) was peaceful and serene. While I wrote a solid ten pages in the woods, I decided that the local marina (picnic table and bench), public library and sandy shores of Lake Huron were more hospitable to longhand writing than a low-slung lawn chair in the (mosquito-infested) woods.

(Full Day One Page Count: 30 pages. Solid.)
