Cop der woids

Quite unexpectedly, 'The Barber' (working title) has reached 11 pages and still has three scenes still to be written. I'm estimating somewhere around the 15-16 page mark at this stage. However, I can tell already that it's puffy and contains many unnecessary passages of description that will be excised in the second draft. Is it any good? Honestly, I'm not feeling confident in it - and that's the first time I've felt that way about a short story in a long time. Still, as SK has observed, sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like you're doing nothing but shovelling shit uphill.
